Lovely Lady Liberty
With her book of recipes
And the finest one she’s got
Is the great American melting pot
The great American melting pot.
What good ingredients,
Liberty and immigrants.

They brought the country’s customs,
Their language and their ways.
They filled the factories, tilled the soil,
Helped build the U.S.A.
Go on and ask your grandma,
Hear what she has to tell
How great to be American
And something else as well.

“Women are funny; if they start thinking about something that bothers them, they can’t have an orgasm. With a guy, you gotta break a pencil off of his penis. Women look at orgasms as something they give away. It’s like, ‘I’m giving you my orgasm, I’m having an orgasm for you.’ Guys just want to get rid of their orgasm; they’re not looking to keep it at all.”
—Adam Carolla Loveline
