Everything in space, including the International Space Station, is essentially in free fall, falling rapidly under the force of (almost) nothing but gravity.
Hold tight. I'm reaching. I think I might be able to grab your foot.

Yikes! You're right! Hold on, I think I still have a footing.

I've only got one foot in this looney bin, the other is in my mouth. :D

What do you think of this joke?:

What's the difference between a job and a wife after six years?

A job still sucks.

Premise One, and why:
The futures so bright I gotta wear shades.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVjTTcEuhtM

I study nuclear science
I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher
He wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better
I'm doing alright, getting good grades
The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades
I gotta wear shades



Premise Two …
Nooooo!

As far as I can tell, that's a fair attempt to be relevant. Maybe a B- for effort in my book? If you think it's better than that, then feel free to explain what I'm not seeing.
Gary, you have a yet to provide proof of possessing an elevator's license, and there are possible karmic penalities for unlicensed calibrating of objective elevations with calculations corrupted by delusional understanding of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

But, to continue with relevance to the greater truth of the topic at hand before any contemplated or attempted, unnecessary amputations ...

A Platy is a fish.
A fish is a newbe.
Pus form around infections.

Therefore:

Q: What happens when a newbe’s mind is infected with Leftist crap?
A: Platypus.

OK. Thanks for the insight. I just lowered your grade to an F.
Nooo! Walker should get an A+ for creativity and spelling.

OK, here’s another question especially for Gary:

Q: What is the dumbest idea for a thread on this forum?
