1) "I can see Russia from my house."
2) "Abstinence works."

Seeing Russia from her house is a fallacy. The other is true--IF a person actually practiced abstinence. Those who refrain from sexxx do not get pregnant or have issues with pregnancy or STDs. That is a fact.
The trick is--actually practicing abstinence.
Somebody please tell that airhead that is what drop outs do--
1. Enroll in correspondence courses
2. Enroll in night school or weekend school
3. Test out and get a GED or enroll in a GED prep course
We call those who should be physically in Highschool but opt NOT to attend--DROP outs--because they are no longer attending HS. Those who are in "corrrespondence classes" qualify as drop outs as do night school attendees and GEDers.
Same thing. Lord Help that nitwit.
She is also so appreciative of all those who appreciate her family, including Trapp, Trog, Peter-Piper, Truck, Barstool, and Wallow, as well as future babies Tinsel, Teflon, and Tallow.

By these calculations, and by proximity of the Russian New Year this makes Tripp the first baby to be named for the excuse Bristol gave the Gov when she tried to explain how she got pregnant, "But Mom, Levi tripped and fell on top of me." :)
