"Take two aspirin" and "Keep away from children."

There's a support group for that.

It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar."

infant's life without even considering if there is a man on base."

you, they should have to find you a temp."

but they turned sixty and that's the law."

case of fire you have to line up quietly in a single file line
