    Wisconsin cheese-heads think that Trump has been saying that all along.

    What makes me laugh is the fact that all of the cookie makers are now selling bite-sized versions.

    They were great when they did “A Horse with No Name”. And they were great when they did “Tin Man”, “Ventura Highway” and “Sister Golden Hair”. But they started to slip, and they haven’t really done anything worth noticing since “You Can Do Magic”. So I say, yes, let’s make America great again.

    Thank goodness I was able to see this one coming, so I could duck the punchline. I’ve still got the scars from the times I didn’t.

    Considering how often Americans say that “America is the greatest country in the world”, it’s kinda interesting that they elected a president who’s campaign slogan claimed that America isn’t great.

    The people of Cabbagetown just voted on a law against graters…The so-called “Cole’s Law” passed unanimously.

    So, when it gets clogged up, does that make the cheese an ingrate?

    When has Rat ever worked hard? It seems odd that he’d be complaining about having things done for him.

    You would think this would have been an easy thing to call Trump on when he first started using it. The problem was, everyone thought he was a joke candidate and did not take him seriously until it was too late.

    When I grate cheese by hand, it usually raises the protein content due to the addition of small quantities of blood and occasionally a tiny bit of epidermis.
