Synonym-finder.

Only if he loses.

No, they're afraid George Michael will try to sneak in.

If a turtle does not have a shell, is he homeless or naked?

Neither; he's dead.

Why do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections?

They don't. They just use new ones, which only come sterile.

Why do kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Because that's what their goggles were attached to, and they needed the goggles to fly.

No; there's nothing funny about clowns.
