The hell ones are great.
A Far Side cartoon depicting a scene in hell. Several devils are cracking whips. Below them, some people are holding mugs, and one person is filling his cup from a dispenser. In the caption, one of the people holding a mug says to another "Oh man! The coffee's cold! They thought of everything!"

Continuing on the dog theme, I always loved this one.
A Far side cartoon. In the cartoon, a scientist is walking down the street wearing an odd-looking helmet, covered in antennae and flashing lights. Several dogs are pictured around him running, chasing a car, leaning on a fence and sitting on a lawn. All of the dogs have speech bubbles containing the word "Hey!" one or more times. The caption reads "Donning his new canine decoder, Professor Schwartzman becomes the first human being on Earth to hear what barking dogs are actually saying."

A two panel collage of a dog looking at a drawing of a computer monitor. In the first panel the dog is looking at the monitor saying "What a lovely day on the inter[net]." In the second panel, the dog is looking at the reader saying "Good Lord."

I go with "having", but with a slightly longer "a".

Well, that's not ideal.

I'm pretty sure there's already a mechanism for that. It's called "tax".

Hoooooo boy. I didn't even manage that on holiday in Ibiza in my twenties, and I had a week off when I got home to recover.

Good luck!

Someone in the press room should ask her if she thinks this should apply to Melania and Barron Trump, both of whom have dual US and Slovenian citizenship.

"You look like you need a little pick-me-up, Mr. Lynskey, so I'm prescribing three litres of vodka and two hundred grams of cocaine. You can decide for yourself how much to take of each, and how often."

Just asked child #1 (who is doddering along at the ripe old age of 17) and his listening age is apparently 58.

He has listened to 6000+ minutes of Travis Scott, nearly as much NWA. It seems that what dragged him towards his musical state pension was... Frank Sinatra (!!!)
