Comment by Poorness Studios on November 16, 2020 at 12:49am: Thanks Bob. Is that the one about getting an ugly girl to marry you?

Comment by Bob Johnston on November 15, 2020 at 3:46pm: Good song. Reminds me of when I got in trouble in High School for singing Jimmy Soul’s If You Want To Be Happy.

Comment by Poorness Studios on November 15, 2020 at 12:23pm: Ha ha. You got it AD!

Thanks James. It does seem like we lost the ability to laugh at ourselves at some point.
