1. They're going to "wipe" them out?

They may consider the bill a "rip off".

Do they thing that people just go to the toilet to "loaf" around?

No, I'm not 4 "sheets" to the wind.

Many need to go to the bathroom after a "square" meal.

These are just "wizzing" along, aren't they?

WHAT? Nobody is going to "roll" on the floor? That makes me feel "crappy"!

PEACE! (or in this context, maybe PIECE!?)

When I 'go' in public places. This saves me the embarrassment of the odor of some who don't/can't wipe all the way.

I had to go all the way to the South to learn the meaning of 'dingleberries.' I thought it was, well, not a nice thing to say to a person without any context behind it.

and old women would sit at the door and sell squares of paper for a peso. May be a new industry for NJ soon. Who says republicans aren't job created?

4. Is Christie hogging it all again? He was the kid that took all the paper out of the other stalls.

You'd think they could at least kick down a little of their wares to help out New Jersey in this hour of TP crisis.
