Veils completely hid the face of the princess, because according to legend, any man who set eyes on her face would be put to death--but the truth was, that the veils were there to conceal her acne.

Mother-in-law jokes have been a staple of stand-up comics for years.

Spreadsheets aren't really sheets at all, so at least you don't have to fold them after washing.
