Prem sends this in: “I get that Medusa just entered behind the guy. What’s the connection with fajitas? Are the snakes hissing as though the fajitas are sizzling?”

More Medusa! (not a CIDU)

…and I (and Chemgal, who contributed it) don’t get it either:

OK, Luddie wants out, and Janis stops her. But…where’s the joke?



Not really OYs, but timely:


A zombie allergic to brains, OK. How does “old married couple” figure in?

As a bonus, we’ll throw in what’s likely a momentary CIDU:

Boise Ed sends this in: “Is the bottom part unglassed? It appears that a metal hand is attached to the side of the meat pile. Perhaps “heroes” refers to sandwiches, but who makes them with ground beef?”

JMcAndrew sends a set of related cartoons:






The last two are obviously just different versions of the same joke from the same cartoonist, even if they’re 14 1/2 years apart. I’m not sure if that’s a bad thing or not.
These all remind me of an axiom I was taught long ago as a relationship test: Have lunch at your prospective partner’s house and ask for mayonnaise. If they present Miracle Whip–especially if they aren’t even apologetic about it–RUN.
Miracle Whip is to mayonnaise as carob is to chocolate. As someone else once wrote, “Carob is not an acceptable substitute for chocolate. It is not an acceptable substitute for anything except, perhaps, brown shoe polish.”
Dirk the Daring poses this question to us: “All I want to know is whether it was the dog that gave the warning or the wife that gave the warning.”


I looked it up, but I ended up with stuff like this. Is the joke just that the bear is wearing eye makeup?

Boise Ed sends this one in: “I once worked in a place like that.”
