A tasty planet - If the grass outside my house tasted like candy, I would have no grass. If earth tasted good, earth would be gone by now. 1000% gone.

Jimmy was a romance writer - My heart! Even though at the start I knew he was going to find love, I felt so bad for lonely Jimmy. I’m glad he found someone!

Classic movie dialog you might have missed - My favourite quote of the bunch is the Doctor Dolittle one, only because it took me a moment to get it and when I did the pun hit me like a brick. 10/10

Yeah, the Doolittle gag was a little obscure. 🤣 But it made me laugh, so I put it in. Thanks V.

Mark, your stories are just as enjoyable on a Wednesday night! I loved the poem and the movie quotes had me laughing. I hope they find a better barber in the Shire soon. 🤣
