Superman owns a pair of Chuck Norris pajamas. Every year on his birthday, Chuck Norris randomly selects one lucky child to be thrown into the sun. Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs. The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain. Chuck Norris defines love as the reluctance to murder. If you�re still alive, it�s because Chuck Norris loves you. Chuck Norris isn�t hung like a horse. Horses are hung like Chuck Norris. If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can�t see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death. My favorite Chuck Norris quote: "When I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you!"

Notice how he has no lower torso, BECAUSE HE BEAT IT OFF HIMSELF IN A FIT OF NORRIS RAGE! "Look at these nails, they are perfect!" Those henchmen in the background are actually extras from Missing in Action 4: THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL! This was shot right before Norris tried out to be a Solid Gold dancer This was the rejected poster from "Invasion USA 2: DIE COMMIE DIE!

Hope you didn't pay too much for a particularly good example of rather obscure pop-culture reference to an ironically popular "star" from the early '80s.
