From crude comedy and crappy puns to gangster-themed patterns and good old fashioned insults, this awesome collection of alternative cross stitch will make you smile, although your grandma might not appreciate it quite so much.

Before "life" shut up the door, I'll ask him to switch off the light, because I'm going to sleep.
