Velcro is younger than John McCain.

As chance would have it, today is the 50th anniversary of the invention of Velcro. Happy Birthday, Velcro - and good job keeping John McCain’s shoes closed. (You see, because he’s old and may have trouble with laces. Get it? Get it?)
(Thanks to Noa, Kris, Robert, Dana, Kim, Donna, Luke, and about two dozen other people for the tip!)

This is a good one, but not as good as nylon stockings.

I CAN THINK OF A LOT OF REASONS NOT TO HAVE A BLACK MAN AS PRESIDENT AND NONE OF THEM ARE RACIST EITHER. I WOULD SAY IT IS CULTURAL, THERE IS NO WAY A PERSON COMING FROM A MINORITY CULTURE CAN RELATE TO AND UNDERSTAND THE MAJORITY CULTURE. i FOR ONE CAN NOT VOTE FOR A MAN THAT DOES NOT REPRESENT MY VALUES.
