Ok, Liz, I sure got a kick out of some of these. Some are very clever. How can I copy them and print them? I have no idea if that is a possibility. I've got a couple of kids who would get quite a bit of amusement from these. :)

These are just hilarious.

#1 is fabulous. I heard just the other day that March 14th is annual Pie Day. Why? 3.14 = Pi. Isn't that great? I didn't know in time to celebrate, but next year, watch out!

#5: I'm never eating ground meat again.

#12: Another along those lines, "When my friend told me he was a confirmed atheist I asked who confirmed him."

#23: Does your newspaper carry the strip "Pickles?" Sunday's was the funniest thing I've read in a long time!

Word verification is grilic: I think that is grilled garlic.
