60s

Okay, this is a double CIDU for me, because Irv (not that Irv) sent it to me with the comment “The 60s called…”

Right now that confuses me just as much as the comic itself does, though I suspect it should help me understand it.

(Yes, I do understand the nature of the trick itself, because I am after all smarter than the average bear)

cobracommander

This would have been a CIDU even if Henry Winkler had ever played Cobra Commander.

Which he never did.

uber closetohome

Uber drivers making more money if they look “rougher”… is this a cliché which until now has somehow eluded me?

I translated it from the French so you wouldn’t have to (though in this case it probably wasn’t really necessary)

Trebuchet

“Trébuchet” is simply French for “catapult.”

But is there an actual joke here other than making fun of pretentious new restaurants? And more importantly, do they have a team of Heimlich experts on staff?
