Or at least hand him his directions!  Thank goodness…

They’re thoughtful that way…

The directions must have read: “put training wheels on bike…”

I knew it…

National emergency…

I’m sure this is next…

This too…

Well that explains things…

I’m old enough to remember when this sort of thing would have actually been news…

And then gets a visit from the FBI…

It’s in the Constitution…

They’d like this to be in the Constitution…

Warming up for the summer arson season…

I am without words…

I am also without gas…

I am definitely—by choice—without Disney…

I’m old enough to remember this episode…

A good suggestion for the immediate future…

Our public servants have it hard…

Voting—illegally—with their feet…

Enlightened journalism…

The science is settled—or has settled…

Not everything is rotten…

By the time we get there, they’re probably right…

Film at 11?

Gotta be prepared…

A picture is worth a thousand words…

And in the just because it’s ridiculously cute department…

Awwwwwww!

If you haven’t already, consider buying a copy of License To Kill. If you’re interested in how the police get it wrong, there is no better primer.

If you get the book directly through the publisher, I’ll make a few cents more than if you get it at Amazon. It’s $17.99 at either source, and Amazon has a $4.99 Kindle edition.  Positive comments on Amazon about LTK would be great too.  Go here to comment.

And now, more humor from Richard Lederer’s classic book Anguished English, which is a collection of accidentally funny things people have written.  This week, excuse notes parents wrote to schools:

“Dear School: Please eckuse John being absent on Jan. 28.29. 30. 31, 32 and also 33.” 

“Please excuse Gloria from Jim today.  She is administrating.”

“Please excuse Roland from PE.  For a few days. He fell out of a tree and misplaced his hip.’”

“John has been absent because he had two teeth taken off his face.”

“Carlos has been absent yesterday because he was playing football.  He was hurt in the growing part.”

“Chris will not be in school because he has an acre in his side.”

“Please excuse Pedro from being absent yesterday.  He had diahre dyrea direathe shits.”

These days we need humor more than ever.  I’ll see you next Sunday, and I hope, every other day too!
