Things Not to Say When You Meet a Tyrannosaurus Rex
Were you born like that?
Or did your arms just not grow right?
Roar all you want.
I'm not giving you any of my fries.
My dentist could do wonders for that overbite.
Spielberg's were bigger and faster.
I once had a dog named Rex
Have you heard the one about
the brontosaurus with a sore throat?
Could you please stop drooling on me.
