There is the statement "There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.".
QED.

Now where could I have read that?

Of course it does, I think.

Is there anything else it could stand for?

Quite Easily Done.


Aren't there about a thousand other things it could stand for?

Yes.

Are doughnuts Fast Food or Cop Food? (or maybe Fat Cop Food?)

Either all the fat juicy rainworms were on its current side of the road,
or the chicken was deplumed and shrink-wrapped.

Does a girl at her last psychiatrist's session get shrink-wrapped?

Not unless she's in love with the shrink.

Why go to the shrink in the first place?

Where did the term 'shrink' come from anyway?

The first person to thus designate a psychiatrist, meant to say 'shrimp', but because of a speech impediment pronounced it 'shrink'. The word stuck.

Did a shrunk shrimp visit a shrink?

No

Why would anyone shrink a shrimp in the first place?

Why fishing conglomerates of course, who were forever playing games with the meanings of various shrimp size definitions until the 'count per pound' system went into effect here in the USA.

How many shrinks does it take to make a gallon of shrimp gumbo ?

None. Shrimp gumbo is made by Cajun cooks.

How many Cajuns does it take to screw in a marsh?

Five - four to hold the gator, and one to do the dirty deed.

Jewjitsu

Do gators flee in terror when they see Cajuns in the marshes or do they wait thinking 'Once they are through then it's lunch time'?

The latter if lunch is Cajun burghers.

There is cheese in cheeseburgers. Why is there no ham in hamburgers?
(though Hamburgers do have 2 hams each, these are NOT consumed in polite society.)

Because those God cursed vegan sons of Cain used their powerful lobby in Wash D.C. to outlaw it. If I eventually run for Office (under the Republican, Whig, Mother Jones, and Omnivore tickets), one of my most dearly held campaign promises will be to "Put the HAM back in HAMburger, and the PORK back in PORKbarrel Legislation !".

If I ran, would you vote for or against me, and why ?

I may vote for you, if you promise to keep away other Darbingers.

Past Belgian Prime Ministers have their white marble busts displayed in the halls of the Parliament building. Could you, in the event, herald your own statutory erection?

P.S. I've been looking for other turns of phrase: having your statue erected, your idol lifted, your totem planted, your effigy raised, your image posted, but somehow they all sound ambiguous. :oops:

ANSWER: I could, but unfortunately it would have to be visibly censored, to avoid offending the puritanically faint of heart, and reproductively challenged.

QUESTION: Who's this guy "Hosanna" I keep hearing songs about in church, and why is he high all the time if the church is anti-drug ?

Hey, in his defense church wine is no weak brew and church-goers have to commiserate with him; what with him being hoarse and under the weather the day after a night of over-indulgence.

It was, but I hear that due to it's proximity to Brazil, and the number of planes that crash there, they're going to 'gerrymander' the triangle to give it a more sexy "runway cut" instead. Woo hoo !
