I don’t know what NCUA’s mascot’s name is, so let’s call him… Bill Cashman? You can tell he is made of cash because he gets lots of interest from the ladies! There are areas around here where he wouldn’t last an hour though, they would just find a discarded suit. His wife can’t help him […]

Gingerbread boy is oblivious
