Magnum's

Trojan Magnum prophylactics are actually smaller than standard sized prophylactics.

Who's That Lady

The song (Who's) That Lady, written by the Isely Brothers, recently made popular by the Swiffer commercials was written by Ronald Isely during a brief relationship he had with Diana Ross. It is safe to say that That Lady was Diana Ross.

French Fries

French fries were first prepared in England in May, 1647. Jonathan Nosewater was about to fry some fish and boil some potatoes when he accidentally dropped his potatoes into his boiling oil. He labeled them French fries as he was not a fan of the French and labeled any mistake he made in the kitchen as "French"; i.e. French chicken (he dropped a chicken on the floor in October of 1645), French Salad (he sneezed into the lettuce), French steak (he used a particularly fatty cut of beef). His errors did not prevent Jonathan from serving his French "delicacies." I would not have eaten his French dressing.
French fries are still delicious.

Proper Merging Technique

When merging towards an exit, I like to find the most expensive car I can who is already in the exit lane, and get in front of it. Mercedes are good, BMWs are better and Ferraris are best. The nicer the car, the more concerned the owner is about the appearance of the car...I own a Jeep Wrangler so I'm set.
