reminds me of that mitch hedberg joke:
Matt L.
A friend said he wanted to show me a picture of when he was younger. Every picture is of you when you were younger. “Here’s a picture of me when I’m older.” “Son of a bitch. Let me see that camera.”
Jason F.

“Wedge-tailed eagles are Australia’s largest predatory birds and have a wing-span of more than two meters.”
