Enough Tuesdays... Why would it get so crazy as this. I enjoyed the one about the farmer feeding his pigs six women, well I think it should be feeding six women some pigs. What things they twist. The cheese black market??? And the parmesan cheese ones were insane. Where do you find stuff like this? Do you just randomly go through the internet looking???

Wow, that is hilarious. I mean who would have thought that they could have put together something like this from all over the world? It amazes me how they did that. I wonder if someone sends them the info, or what. I don't think i could do something like this because it would take a lot of time, and i don't have any extra with my schedule.
