Also from mitch4, who comments that it goes with the classic joke punch line: “We needed the eggs”!
From CaroZ, who says “I believe I am using the LOL doctrine correctly.” We think so, but would remark every doctrine needs wiggle room.

This is true, but where’s the joke? If Loretta was insulting Leroy, I would understand this as a standard Lockhorn comic, and not needing anything additional. But this doesn’t seem mean, so much as a basic statement of fact. If anything, it’s a little reassuring.
Mitch4 asks:
Is the waiter making a smart or a nasty suggestion?
(Even granting the presupposition that people would love to have some Limburger but normally refrain from concern about offensive breath.)
1) Now is the chance, as customers are masked and will be protected from others noticing their bad breath the rest of the day. So the waiter is making a good suggestion.
OR 2) But actually he is leading them on, knowing that a masked person will be smelling their own breath all day. So he is nasty and taking out some revenge on customers.
Some oddities come with having multiple editors. One of the editors (mitch4) says this is a “semi-CIDU Geezer.” The other one (Winter Wallaby) found this a CIDU that made him LOL anyway. So it gets all the tags.

Sentences that I would have never, ever predicted one year ago:
“The sukkah in the front of the synagogue is not kosher, because we can’t give it three walls and still make it drive-through. Please make sure everyone is wearing masks when you go through.”
I’m not Jewish, but my wife and kids are, and that was the message from our synagogue today. Imagine reading that one year ago and trying to make sense of it.
Chag Sameach to anyone who’s celebrating.
