Some might prefer "journeyperson" to "journeyman"!

Did you hear about the museum exhibit dedicated to John Wayne? One piece of art displayed was a pair of golden-brown tombstones. They were called...the amber graves of Wayne!

Those people are incredibly annoying, and should be jailed.

Yep.
If we changed that word, we would also have to have "personhole cover" and so forth.

those that await us beyond Pooh-Bahdom are even worse.....

Is there a Pooh-top? My 3 year old loves Winnie the Pooh. I'll ask her.

The medical community reports that cheerful people are less prone to illness than are gloomy folk. In other words, the surly bird catches the germ.

One disease, however, is an exception: people subject to appundicitis are always cheerful.

"personhole cover"

Isn't that called a g-string?

As for the old cowboy actor, they filmed his death, just so people could watch John wane.

people who don't recycle should be executed?
No. I reserve execution for the crimes that already use it. These two crimes merely get you a jail sentence.
