Vacation Speech

Well, here I am again on another trip to another state. You know, if my parents had come we could have gotten the family deal, but I’m alone as always. “Hey honey, you riding alone again?” Asks the flight attendant.
“Ya.” I respond “my parents couldn't come.”

I’m always on some kind of trip or vacation, I guess my parents are making a sad attempt to make it up to me, well it isn’t working.

The fact that our language, political and legal institutions are inherited from the British Isles, not anymore. The cultural left tells us that it's all about multiculturalism and celebrating diversity and difference, with some even arguing that Australia Day should be renamed Invasion Day.…
