From Mitch4, who notes, “Is this speech directed to the deceased or to the veiled woman at graveside? It reads like it would have to be partly each.”
If we can’t even tell that much, it’s definitely a CIDU, I think!
Total CIDU

What’s the skinny?
BillR writes, “Don’t know what “shinny” is”:
Having grown up in southern Ontario, I knew it was a game sorta like hockey, so this is just a cheap pun. Wikipedia adds more detail, of course: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinny
…which is interesting, because I played a lot of street hockey and never once heard it called “shinny”. Nor was raising the ball (never a puck!) forbidden, nor were teams chosen by throwing sticks into a pile. May be a regional thing. Body checking was indeed not part of the game, though of course it happened occasionally.
We’d get out there of a winter’s Saturday morning–the churchyard behind my parents’ house was ideal, except for all those cars on Sundays–and play until it got dark around 4, skipping lunch. Nothing quite like taking a frozen tennis ball to the ear after you’ve been outside in subzero temperatures for several hours: first you feel nothing, then it starts to itch, then burn.
Good times!
I don’t get it
Dirk Daring sent this:
I have no idea what this is about. Who or what is a Wilson? Is this Wilson sporting goods?
I am mystified.
I get who Wilson is, but not why this is funny/interesting?!
Something’s not Kosher here
What does any of this have to do with Hanukkah?
Make Room! Make Room!
(Insert soylent milk joke here)
From Ed Rush,, asking “Why would he need extra room to drink a cup of coffee-like substance?”
As someone who never learned to like coffee–when I lived in Canada I used to joke that I could never get my Canadian citizenship because I couldn’t even stand Coffee Crisp–I’m sure I don’t know either!
Definite non sequitur

From billr:
Song lyrics MAY help:
Telephone call for Peter Parker
Also from billr (and travelgirl):
Is it because his ears are covered by his costume? He can’t hear anything on his phone?
Indeed. My other question is where he puts that phone when he’s out webslingin’! Not really sure I want to know…
It’s not what you know, it’s who you know
From Boise Ed, who notes “Total CIDU for me”:
I have a maybe-theory but let’s see what y’all think.
Oy. I momentarily forgot which strip this was from, so I asked Google Images. The AI summary says:
This is a comic strip from the series “Bizarro” by Dan Piraro.
I don’t think so! (Yes, I was able to figure it out.)
And now it’s time for another fairy tale
Boise Ed sends:
and wonders, “I know Hagar often thrives on anachronistic stuff, but geez! Eddie having a modern pillow in camp is bad enough, but how would Hagar convince those two deer/elk/moose/reindeer to hold still for that, all night?”
I also have to ask what Rocky is doing down there on the bottom right–is one of those meese Bullwinkle?! In any case, where’s the joke?
