Not crazy about any of them. I guess “b”, since it’s current to the times…

Really, is there any other choice besides:
e) “If you think that’s impressive, you should see our nuts.”
That one actually made me chuckle out loud. :-)

Truthfully, some of them aren’t that clever or amusing.
B’s more timely, but I have to go with E.

Although if it said “my nuts”, it might be that much better.

This is probably the least funny set of quotes ever…….except for the nuts or Sam’s club one maybe. Way to go flossers….
