Could have been a rolling stone!

If mothers use tiny spoons and tiny forks to feed their babies, what do chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?
 
If people from Poland are called Poles, why aren't people from Holland called Holes?
 
Why do they put pictures of criminals in the post office? What are we supposed to do, write to them?

Why don't they just put their pictures on postage stamps so the mailmen can look for them when they deliver the mail?
 
Why do the TV anouncers always whisper when someone is putting in a pro golf tournament? I don't think the players can really hear them.
 
I wonder how many people know that the band playing on all his albums but one was the 'A-team', the same band you hear on Merle Haggard and most all of the top country artists of that era?

Oh, I shot the deputy, so Bob didn't have to.

In other words, I fought the law and I won.

In the song Yankee Doodle, is he calling the horse or the feather "macaroni"?

In Europe around the time of the American Revolution they had what were called 'macaroni' clubs. These were clubs where people would meet and discuss fashion, cuisine, all the stuff aristocrats would want to talk about. Basically a 'queer-eye for the straight guy' club. The song Yankee Doodle was made up by the British to make fun of the revolutionaries. Americans are called Yankees and 'Doodle dandy' basically meant a gay man. So when Yankee Doodle stuck a feather in his cap he called it 'macaroni' as if it were a fashion statement that would be approved by such clubs.
