1) Creationism cannot possibly be true. People who believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible never outgrew the need to believe in Santa Claus.
2) It’s a mistake to use replays to make calls because no matter how many cameras you use, some calls are still going to be missed. There’s no way to see everything that’s going on.
3) Math is harder than sociology, and I really need an easier semester this fall. So I’ll take sociology instead of math.
4) This year, the pigeon shoot was disrupted by animal rights activists who tried to release the pigeons from their cages. I can’t help think these animal rights activists are the same people who believe in controlling the human population through abortion.
5) Parker says Macs are better than PCs. But what would you expect him to say? He’s owned Macs for years.
6) Boss to employee: “I’ll be happy to tell you why this report needs to be finished by Friday. If it isn’t ready by then, you’ll be looking for another job. How’s that for a reason?”
7) Mother to son: “You know, your friend Joe is a really nice kid. He’s always so polite and you two get along so well. I think I’m going to invite him over for dinner this Friday.”
9) My uncle smoked cigarettes all his life and never got cancer. The health industry is full of it: cigarettes don’t lead to lung cancer.
