Makes You Wonder #1LinerWeds

One-Liner Wednesday 1 Minute

Basically, you trade $120,000 for a certificate of completion. My stepfather, who was an admission counselor in his later years, called it a union card. Like I said, it makes you wonder…

One-Liner Wednesday is brought to you each week by Linda Hill and this station. Now a word from Valley Forge beer, the beer with the wonderful flavor!
