Boise Ed sends this in: “I think they are holding paper clips. What that has to do with the speech line is anyone’s guess.”

As I remember what a grade school classroom can do with paper clips if someone finds some rubber bands, I think I’d take my chances with rulers.


In honor of the Olympics (yes, I know track and field is in the summer Olympics)


Mitch4 sends this in: “Probably no longer an in-joke of lawyers, but it used to be said of a good prosecutor that they “could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich”.”


Dirk the Daring sends this in as a possible Arlo: “Perhaps the first panel deserves an Arlo award. It stopped me for a moment before I got to the second panel. I would have trouble believing this is accidental.”
Mr. Bee and billr send this in: “He’s carrying-the moon? Is that why he’s put out?” and “So Atlas is carrying the Earth, that’s his job. Is he complaining about having to carry the moon too? I thought maybe there would be a Lego brick that he’s stepping on, but nope.”


Darren throws us a nice compliment: “I consider CIDU our humor professional!
I guess there is a minor question of the text. Best I can do is:
“And this is why you never ever invest in a platypus””



Did I post this before? I thought I had, but it was still in my “to be posted” folder, and I can’t find it in recent posts. If you saw it before, you’re now seeing it again!







Maybe we need a “Yeah, right!” tag.

Other nominees: big hats, bustles and anything else from the Gone With The Wind era.

I’m probably not the only one who had to look this term up:


As I write this, the Jets are 0-6.



Adding to the series.

Not really an OY, not really LOL, and not a synchronicity, but this week evil squirrels have had their day in the comics.


One of my neighbors feeds the squirrels, and will come out and chase hawks away to protect her precious squirrels — at the same time I’d hired an animal control firm to get rid of the ones that have found their way into the condo’s attic. Cute or vermin? As the realtors say, “Location, Location, Location”.

A few days ago, your editor, riding his bike in a bike lane, was right hooked. Both my bicycle and his car had the green light; I’m going straight and his car came up from behind and turned right; luckily I only made contact with the side of his car and was unhurt except for some bruising when I hit the street. The driver said he saw me, but assumed I would stop at the green light because the pedestrian signal said “wait”! My adrenalin was already going wild from the accident and this statement failed to calm me down.
But that’s not the punchline here. While we were waiting for the police, I noticed his car had a temporary license plate. I asked it if was a new car. It was; his previous car had been totaled because he’d been in a t-bone accident the week before.
