Sevin Dust Itch

We're in a field and our daughters are picking dandelions when they both go running to pick a random bright yellow weed.

Hubs: That was my motto in college.

At Least I Don't Have Herpes

Me: Who wouldn't?
Hubs: That's true. I mean, I look in the mirror. I know what's going on.

Here's one my boss sent:
