Matt Hopkins | Jedi Master Yoda says very funny Matthew is. Live in Elmwood Park he does. To Erin his wife he is married. Year and a half with On the Spot he has been.

Mirth leads to hilarity, hilarity leads to giggling, giggling leads to laughter, laughter leads to guffawing. |
Jennifer Jones | Jennifer Jones was created as part of a top secret experiment. She was made up of sewn together body parts that were found left on the field after a rugby match.

But her greatest gift, by far, is her ability to have her cake, and eat it too! |
