The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 11, 2013

Clear as a Sparkle cleaned pane of glass.

I can’t believe the kid didn’t see right through that line.

Somethings are transparently obvious…. he’s obviously transparent.

Not to be confused with a trans parent, which is not always obvious… and a whole different kind of discussion.

(OK. Let’s not have it. Just making a bad joke.)

clear as the devil’s conscience at the ecumenical council.

Mr. White! is that you?

He’s not looking himself.

oops.. gone with the sip…

The kid is obviously distracted. His adolescent mind is thinking of just one thing: the girls’ locker room.

Not as dangerous as the kids diet.

You’ve made yourself clear dad, but I am thinking more in the lines of opportunity rather than dangerous.

Clear as mud.

Since he still has his clothes on, I wonder if it contains Windex to prevent him from streaking.

This is pretty funny, but I think the son’s comments are not only unnecessary to the joke but illogical. “Yes” is the appropriate answer regardless of whether clear=transparent or clear=understood.

Crystal clear, sir.

The eyes are supposed to be the windows to the soul, not the whole body.

looks a little green to me

lol
