A “Feel-Good” Story #1LinerWeds

One-Liner Wednesday 1 Minute

Saw this and just had to share it. Kind of like the story where a woman sent a text invite to Thanksgiving dinner, and the guy who got it said "Wrong number, but can I come anyway?" and he’s been back for going on ten years now.

    1. Right. All we ever hear about is how people don’t get along, which is a load of crap. Sure, there are people you don’t agree with and a few you just don’t like, but in general people get along famously, often people that are total opposites.

      I think the voice of Speedy Alka-Seltzer was provided by Jay North, who played Dennis The Menace. And yes, Buster was the best…
