A bit too late. They already misspelled his name when naming those decorative melons "Gourds".

When a bullfighter is gored, does that mean he sat through one of Al's speeches?

Woman goes into a pharmacy and asks the pharmacist for poison.
What for?
I want to kill my husband.
Why I can't give you poison that is not only illegal but I would be an accomplice.
She reaches in her purse and takes out a picture of her husband and his wife in an intimate embrace and hands it to the pharmacist.
You didn't tell me you had a prescription!
OK I 'm bored and tired, I'll get my coat.

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Their body can live without head. Their head can live without body. Both never die, even if unable to eat.
