I was

married

once.

I had always wanted a beautiful, loving wife;

and she had always wanted to be a citizen....

When I was a kid,

my nickname was

Mister Baseball 

(because of the stitches in my face).

My sister gained 80 pounds expecting her baby.

Well, you get nervous...  

waiting for those adoption papers 

to clear....

In California, there's a ten-day waiting period to buy a gun.

Now, how am I supposed to stay mad....

I used to be

scared

of pretty girls, 

until one confessed,

"Emo, we're just as scared of you!"

I hate Indian givers.

No, I take that back....

I used to have a 

big gay following... 

but I ducked

down an alley

and lost him.

My dad always said,

"If someone

hands you a lemon,

make lemonade."

Plus that also works

w o n d e r f u l l y  

as a metaphor.

Santa Fe

is fun to visit,

but property there 

will cost you an arm

 and a dillo.

Libertarians believe consenting adults 

have the right to do

whatever they choose

(except band together)

My nephew's computer beat me at chess...but it was no match for me at kick boxing!

Last year I donated

$ 1 0 , 0 0 0

to deprived

inner-city kids.

Not voluntarily....

I'm not a Republican... 

but I am saving up

to be one.

If someone strikes you,

turn the other cheek!

That way,

the

s w e l l i n g 

comes out even.

Some mornings,

it just doesn't pay

to gnaw through

those leather straps. 

The Scots are the toughest guys in the world;

they have drive-by head-buttings.

(In Glasgow, 

a sweatband is considered

a silencer.)

I never cheated on my wife.

I took seriously

those vows of celibacy....

  Last summer I was in Provence

shooting a documentary

about a Frenchman with

O C D

who showers up to

once a day....

They call me "Good Time Emo." Because I love a good time! And my name is Emo.

Some mornings,

it just doesn't pay

to gnaw through

those leather straps.

I woke up this morning with a bloody nose. I thought, "How did THIS get into bed with me?"

I ran

three miles today. 

Finally,

I said,

"Lady,

keep your purse."

A chocolate martini is kind of like a "Hello Kitty" crack pipe. 

Santa Fe is fun to visit,

but property there

will cost you

an arm and

 a dillo.

I was born in Chicago.

When I was 10,

my parents moved to a suburb called 

Downers Grove. 

When I was 12,

I found them.

I ran into a woman

I dated last year.

I said,

"You gave me a rash."

She said,

"Put something on it."

I said,

"OK... ten bucks says it was you."

Every night,

my wife used to give me

a foot massage.

And my face

would smell weird afterwards, 

but....

My parents were very protective.

I couldn't even

cross the street

without them

getting all excited...

placing bets...

Marrying a woman for

s e x

 is like buying a tiger for transportation.

My mom gave me one of those

cloth calenders

for my kitchen; 

took me

three hours

to sew in a dental appointment....

So I'm in a bar, nursing a beer... 

and my nipple's getting all soggy....

I used to pray

every night

for a new bike. 

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way. 

So I just stole one,

and asked Him

to forgive me....

So I'm in a bar,

trying to

undress this woman

with my eyes...

and I got my lashes

caught in her

zipper....

My ex-wife 

used to giggle 

during sex.

Didn't matter what she 

was reading....

I had a very

close relationship

with this other kid growing up; 

I was his imaginary friend.

I've learned about women

the hard way

(through books)

People come up to me 

and say,

"Emo, do people really come up to you?"

Once my teacher said,

"Emo, am I stupid, or were your cheating?"

I said,

"Yes and no."
