This week the boys discuss theme parks and how they went from a place to wash yo nasty body to a Disney themed, overpriced bar. The bad news is I don't have a funny goof or gag for the description for this one. I used them all up. Jokes are a limited resource, and without careful planning and sustainable practices they can run out. In fact, the UN predicts that at our currant rate we will have hit peak comedy by 2050, leading to a global humor crisis. That's why here on Boys on the Case we recycle our jokes as much as possible.
