  1. Both the island slice and the whale island made me laugh out loud. Where do they come up with this stuff?

  2. The irony of numbers 4 (money) and 7 (island slice) are really something on that. #5, bottle message too. #2 I would NOT chance, sorry guys. It would have been even funnier if the two women had their arms outstretched. With #1, it sure isn’t his day. Ouch!
