The Joker’s Boner … umm … boner used to mean something else

Powered by Diet Dr Thunder … I need a trash can!
I started drinking Dr Pepper as a kid. At some point I switched to diet. This year I tried the Walmart knockoff, Dr Thunder. I actually like it better. If you’re a foodie, you should give it a try. It has a spicy flavor that reminds me of Moroccan food. After I posted this, I checked my spice cabinet to see exactly what the flavor is like. It is hints of fennel seeds, cardamom seeds, and cinnamon.
Now, I’m going to throw all these cans away!
Read MoreStrunk & White Elements of Style Rap
The Elements of Style from Jake Heller on Vimeo.

If you haven’t read Elements of Style, you can get the original version on Kindle for $0.99.
