The Man Song Gets a Live Action Video Starring Sean Morey

January 19, 2012 By Linda Sherman 10 Comments

I expect to live longer because I have a funny husband. I love his style of humor. Ray's jokes are always topical, contextual and spontaneous (as opposed to the “let me tell you this one” variety).
