Walking Spanish
billr sends this in: “Mike does puns ad infinitum. This is a recurring motif. What I don’t get is the text thread in the newspaper being held by the counterman. I know who Tom Waits is, but don’t know his music well enough to know if this is a reference to one of his songs. Jesus is a common name in some Hispanic-speaking countries, but “Walking Spanish down the hall” is beyond me.”

Extra: Mike du Jour is trying
Mike du Jour is trying — trying for a week to make a workable pun about operations at the symphony. Can you find one you like?

Saturday Morning Oys – February 20th, 2021
Apart from the admirable pun, the line always raises the question of whether a truncated quotation, which changes the meaning, constitutes a misquotation.
Woops, a week late but valid topical pun:
Pants?

What else indeed?
