Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 13, 2015

Allen should take that hammer out of his back pocket.

Chapter 2 “Research into Dramatic Evidence of Pain” seems to be going well.

After reading the entire book, and practicing most of the techniques, Allan experienced an epiphany….He hurts, a lot!

I didn’t realize there was a need for proof.

Chet is determined to make a few bucks with that table of his….

Or… if he can’t get their money, he’ll try for their attention.

Well, this one should get their attention….

$5.00 and Chet will guarantee that you won’t remember Monday.

I got out of bed this morning, that was evidence enough and dramatic enough for me thanks. If I get out of bed in the morning and there is no pain, I know I died last night.

Chet has read that the 3 maxims of Marketing are !) Create the Need 2) Demonstrate how that needs affects the potential buyer 3) Satisfy the needChet’s main purpose is to enroll people in his new Pain Management Class.

Good morning everyone. Looks like a nice day coming here on Magic Mountain,overlooking Ballard Street. My ‘Pain’ management system is a little different than Chet is practising. Heh,heh. :) Peace.

This title could fit so many things! I think I’ll start using it in my classroom come school time.

Man banging his hand with a hammer.Stranger asks “Why are you doing that?”Man says….“Because it feels so good when I stop.”Now one knows the reason why the village idiot likes his job.It feels good.

And best of all, there’s no charge!

@AllenUh…No.

This doesn’t do enough to illustrate chronic pain. If he could weld a bumpy or prickly thing onto the person for a few months and have them reurn and explain why they can’t seem to get much done,, That would show healthy people what it’s like to have chronic pain, A perfect thing to show people like Jeb Bush the reason why making older people work more years and people who don’t understand why some folks can’t get much done. Really though, I wouldn’t wish chronic pain on anyone,, except most polititians.

BevKnow anybody who would like to lease a historic (1880) house in Webster Groves? My DIL’s family home, 5000sf, lots of land, outbuildings etc.?

Gosh, 2Old…. sorry…I guess I was mistaken..

When I saw the strip, I just assumed (and we know about assuming… )that it was Chet…cos it looked like his table and his hair…(Let me tell you, it’s hard to forget that hair…cos no matter what I do to it, he combs the top into what he thinks is a little pompadour…and it’s a skinny little line.

Why don’t men listen to their hairst…. oh…. I’m digressing…sorry…. )

Anyway, when you posted the pictures of Allen, I thought he was a customer…I didn’t get that you were saying that was him out at the table.

Ooops… just came back for a moment, and discovered that the picture I thought I posted never showed up….

Chet:

I am begening to think that Chet has issues.Im betting that Sherif Monkey isn’t around because he’s undercover.Gatta watch the potential trouble makers…
