“Dirty deeds and a thunder Jeep” -Misheard Lyrics

For some reason mismatched silverware always bothered me.

It is one of the first things I purchased when I moved out of my parents house, and I’ve had a complete set of matching silverware since.

…except for one spoon. I have one spoon my great grandmother gave me that I’ve held onto for over 40 years that doesn’t match. That spoon is only used for eating ice cream.

Isn’t a raptor a bird?

Though I see your point, I’d rather have less Jesus in our government, not more.
