But you can keep an average man down for about three minutes.

Wouldn't the referee declare that you won within a few seconds and then ask you to stop keeping the "average man" down because the match is over?

Gilette says it is the best a man can get.  They never told us which one.

I've also heard that you can't keep a good man down.  But you can keep an average man down for about three minutes.  You can keep Carl in a jar.

His son prefers a bag.

Speaking of "mystery spots," Spook Hill in Lake Wales, Florida is way worse than Disney. A supposed legend about nothing.

A guy bought his wife a beautiful diamond ring for Christmas.

After hearing about this extravagant gift, a friend of his said, "I thought she wanted one of those sporty four-wheel-drive vehicles."

"She did," he replied. "But where was I going to find a fake Jeep?"

I'm an Engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is beauty?", because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems and call them "paychecks".

There must be something hilarious about buying butter.  Every time I do, the receipt says "LOL BUTTER".

Some grocery stores are even better: they truncate it to eight characters (including the space).

Land O Lakes butter. If we buy their spreadable butter at Wegmans (which we usually don't; we buy the store brand), the receipt says "LOL LIT BUTT."
