She’s confusing a floral delivery for a pizza??? It’s funny because a floral arrangement isn’t a pizza??? But they are both things that get delivered???
I’d like to say there’s got to be more but I’m scared I’ll find out there isn’t.
My best guess is she called the wrong number and asked for delivery of medium with extra cheese, mushrooms, etc. The floral company was still more than happy to fill the order. She’s so obsessed with the missing olives she doesn’t realize she got a medium floral arrangement instead of the a medium pizza.
I guess this is funny because she can’t (metaphorically speaking) see the forest for the trees. Or the olives for the cheese, as the case may be.
Didn’t we have a discussion a while ago that people “everywhere” eat dandelions? Maybe this is exactly what she ordered.
The joke is, “Who eats extra cheese with dandelions? It’s not the ’90s anymore! C’mon!”
Okay – we don’t get or order flowers often (only for close family members of husband’s funerals) but since when does a florist have cheese and how do they put it in a floral arrangement?
You might want to Google “Edible Arrangements”
I think “Strange Brew” is trying for some kind of Guinness record for “longest series of strips containing no jokes.”
But…. @2, 4, and 5. If the floral company *could* deliver cheese, mushrooms, etc. then why isn’t it conceivable that she ordered a floral arrangement and then … where is the joke.
The only possible joke is that she is completely bonkers and not only doesn’t realize the floral arrangement isn’t a pizza, she is seeing things like extra cheese and mushrooms that just aren’t there.
And the the joke is… it’s not a pizza. A bit like the old joke of driving through the a drive in bank window and say “I’d like two hamburgers and a coke please”.
It’s not always a joke: someone brought some clothing into a branch of the bank where my wife works. The quick-thinking manager accepted it, waited for the customer to disappear, and dashed over to the nearby dry-cleaners, telling them that the stuff absolutely had to be ready the next morning.
When the customer returned to the bank, the manager produced the clothes, took the money, and only then revealed “by the way, this is a bank, next time you should go to the cleaners.”
My first take was that she had ordered- and was expecting- a pizza…but in the meanwhile, someone ordered flowers for her. (How many times does one order flowers for oneself?) She really wanted that pizza and was in some sort of low-blood sugar induced delirium…
Nope. I’ve got nothing.
Irene’s answer makes the most sense. (But none of them are actually funny.)
Anyone think the drawing makes it look as the floral arrangement is a potted plant on the sidewalk and she is simply holding her hand out in front of her?

I didn’t. But, prompted, now I can make it pop back and forth like one of those optical illusions that’s one thing but also another totally different thing.
“Got a delivery for a Ms. Magoo.”
James Pollack – I thought they only make fruit arrangements – not cheese or flowers.
