Would anybody go to the mall on December 26 and wait in line for an hour to return a pair of mittens?
Wouldn’t the same gag have worked better with something of more substance, like a sweater?

Does this fill our week’s quota?

And for the record, the strip’s referring to this:
CIDUs, LOLs, whatever… Please add “Christmas” to the e-mail’s subject line. I’m way behind on my e-mail and this is likely to get worse over the next couple of weeks, so the notation will assure that I see the Christmas-related stuff before it becomes outdated.

This is less a CIDU than a “What a weird thing for anybody to say,” but it reminded me of a theatre lyric: “I’m not a horse, I’m not a pony, so my problem is acute: I am too old for Hialeah and too young to shoot.”
(And yes, we know a pony isn’t really a young horse: give Jerry Herman a break!)
Done well, this could actually be funny.


Okay, technically the holiday doesn’t end until sundown tonight, but effectively it ended Sunday night.
It’s the thought that counts, I guess…

Okay, first of all, how old were you when you learned not to try to open a locked bathroom door when somebody’s inside? Three? Seriously, dude, it’s a locked bathroom door.
And second, maybe equally creepy, that expression on his face at the thought of seeing Janis shaving her legs. Even if we’re talking about Brazilian. Still. She’s shaving her legs. Is this some sort of fetish? Has she been deliberately denying him the opportunity to see her shaving her legs for the last 30-odd years so he’d build it up in his mind as the ultimate erotic experience?

Just wondering… does anybody else think this is a Newhart reference?
And is the question itself already well into Geezer territory?
