“Any resemblance to actual persons— Zach Morris or otherwise— or actual events… is purely coincidental.”
The best Scrabble move I ever saw:
My brother: “Can you put down swear words?”
My mother: “No.”
My brother: (Puts down SHIT) “Not a swear, just what I have to do.” (Leaves to go to the bathroom.)
