Joe the plumber really knows how to host a cookout!

(But it is pretty clever, when the ice melts, it extinguishes the fire!)

Well, when you're on the hot seat, just lean back & chill out.

There's gotta be someone here who can run with:

GA! Never thought of that track!:

Had some steak,

on beer got glutted,

Then sat down,

got burny butted.

Drank the lager,

drank the stout.

Stood up, turned 'round,

and put the fire out!

Here I sit all broken hearted

Lit the charcoal and then I farted

Tried to grab just one cold beer

But I got rocketed into the atmosphere!

Does that work?

Well, with this model you won't need an electrically heated toilet seat for those chilly Winter days and nights.

But you might singe some hairs on the "valuables" if you stoke the fire too much.

Johnny was his boy. And Johnny likes to reminisce about all the wise things his father told him...

AND .... Contrary to widespread misconceptions, Crapper did not invent the flush toilet.

I believe the true inventor was Mr Wigglesworth.... but the term "I'm going to the Wigglesworth" never caught on. so I bid you au du
