large.

14. Marathon runners with bad shoes suffer the agony of de feet.

23. Don't join dangerous cults: practice safe sects.

  1. Two that Dad used to say:
    1) When someone would pause and say, "Well..." Dad would comment, "Now that's a deep subject."
    2) As we'd pass a cemetery, he'd say "Now that's the last place I want to go."

  3. I like Gramps' puns.
