The Woman With 100 Children
There once was a woman who had 100 children.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t very good at choosing names for them all, so she decided to just number them in birth order - One, Two, Three, etc.
One day, she and all of her children were in a tragic plane accident and the only one to survive was her daughter, 90.
After years of grief and growing, 90 got married and had some kids of her own.
One particular day, they found a stray dog and decided to keep it. But, just like her mom, she pretty much sucked at naming things, so she and her husband decided to call the dog, "That".
After several years of a happy life, 90 and her husband grew elderly and infirm, each eventually losing their memory.
They didn't know who their children were nor the name of their dog.
Only 90's kids will remember That.

Nursery Rhymes Revisited
Mary had a little pig,
She kept it fat and plastered;
And when the price of pork went up,
She shot the little bastard.
Mary had a little lamb
Her father shot it dead.
Now it goes to school with her,
Between two hunks of bread.
Jack and Jill went up the hill to have a little fun.
Stupid Jill forgot the pill and now they have a son.
Simple Simon met a Pie Man going to the fair.
Said Simple Simon to the Pie Man, "What have you got there?"
Said the Pie Man unto Simon, "Pies, you dumb ass!"
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the King's horses and all the Kings' men
Had scrambled eggs for breakfast again.
Hey Diddle, Diddle the cat took a piddle,
All over the bedside clock.
The little dog laughed to see such fun.
Then died of electric shock.
Georgie Porgy Pudding and Pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry.
And when the boys came out to play,
He kissed them too 'cause he was gay.
Georgie Porgy Pudding and Pie,
Once kissed the girls and made them cry.
But now that Georgie can't stand noise
Georgie Porgy's kissing boys.
There was a little girl who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good, she was very, very good.
But when she was bad.........
She got a fur coat, jewels, a waterfront condo and a sports car.
There was an old lady who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children, she qualified for public assistance and food stamps.
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.
Jack jumped over a candlestick.
Goodness, gracious, Great Balls of Fire.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells,
And one stupid goddamn eggplant.
Hickory dickory doc,
Three mice ran up the clock.
The clock struck One,
The other two escaped with minor injuries.

Well, now, take down your fishin' pole
And meet me at The Fishin' Hole,
We may not get a bite all day,
We may not get a bite all day,
But don't you rush away.
What a great place to rest your bones
What a great place to rest your bones
And mighty fine for skippin' stones,
You'll feel fresh as a lemonade,
You'll feel fresh as a lemonade,
A-settin' in the shade.
Whether it's hot, whether it's cool,
Whether it's hot, whether it's cool,
Oh what a spot for whistlin' like a fool.
What a fine day to take a stroll
What a fine day to take a stroll
And wander by The Fishin' Hole,
I can't think of a better way
I can't think of a better way
To pass the time o' day.
We'll have no need to call the roll
We'll have no need to call the roll
When we get to The Fishin' Hole,
There'll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey,
There'll be you, me, and Old Dog Trey,
To doodle time away.
If we don't hook a perch or bass,
If we don't hook a perch or bass,
We'll cool our toes in dewy grass,
Or else pull up a weed to chaw,
Or else pull up a weed to chaw,
And maybe set and jaw.
Hangin' around, takin' our ease,
Hangin' around, takin' our ease,
Watchin' that hound a-scratchin' at his fleas.
Come on, take down your fishin' pole
Come on, take down your fishin' pole
And meet me at The Fishin' Hole,
I can't think of a better way
To pass the time o' day.
I can't think of a better way
