These are SO great ! I really enjoyed them….especially the tall building one! A few that fell flat for me though were: The plow guy obviously takes his plow truck home the night before! My husband plows and that’s what him and the guys do. Doctors leave when you get changed because it’s very uncomfortable to get changed in front of them, as opposed to having them move your gown around while they check you out! Lipstick is a stick that you rub on your lips, and most people hang a bath towel the 1st few times they use it, but because it keeps getting wet it and doesnt dry quickly it starts to smell .Lastly they cannot make a whole plane outta the black box material or it would be way too heavy to fly! 🙂 Some of these are SO funny and made me literally LOL..I felt the need to answer the few silly ones though 😉
