Hey, youse got’s to keep da wheels greased.  I’m sure Biden will want to build high speed rail here any second now…

All hail Pope Fluffy the First…

Is there anything taxation can’t fix?

It’s not even close…

This is nearly blasphemous…

So is Brinton…

No kidding. They vote for the wrong people…

Reality is important…

Lead story of the century…

True, but not the lead story of the century…

If it were filmed today…

Is there a right American for that?

Alternative: the Depends of Doom…

As long as it takes to see a doctor there, they’ll probably be dead from old age before they get a 10th visit…

So…what’s your point?

I hate it when that happens…

Somehow I don’t think this one is going to set records…

Sounds about right…

A useful tool for Pennsylvanians in the years to come…

Every cat owner knows about this…

What is it with Canada these days?

See what I mean?

Useful safety tip…

This is a big story. Nothing else happening in the world…

SCIENCE!

They write that like it’s a bad thing…

If you’re a classically trained musician, you’ll get this one…

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

Awwwwwwwww…

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 have public-minded friends who like to stay informed, it makes a great Christmas gift, and it’s not quite too late to order.

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 The Revenge Of Anguished English, which is a collection of accidentally funny things people have written and said.  This week, more sports gaffes:

“Ardiles strokes the ball like it’s part of his own anatomy.” Jimmy Magee

“I think he got the stick in the nose. He broke his nose earlier, and it looks as though it’s the same nose he injured before.” Maurice Couture

“The lead car is absolutely unique, except for the one behind it, which is identical.” Murray Walker

“Sure there have been injuries and deaths in boxing, but none of them serious.” Alan Minter

“If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.” Terry Venables

“What will you do if you leave football, Jack? Will you stay in football?” Stuart Hall

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