Dude, look sharp…….But what’s the point of this cartoon, anyway….? Me? I always get sun burned tonsils, walking around looking up at the tall buildings with my mouth open……
True story: My youngest brother-in-law, a very sweet and cheerful guy, for his first long-term solo venture out of Maine went to Brooklyn for a year-long residence as a project volunteer for our church. First day there he blithely took himself on a tour and got lost, ending up at Brooklyn Bridge park. He was promptly mugged. Having only two ten-dollar bills on him he willingly and wisely surrendered them. Being from Maine where you ask the first person you see for directions in unfamiliar places, before the mugger left my b-I-l asked for directions back to his building, which was well-known. The mugger told him, then gave back one of the bills so he could get back. I’m not sure what the moral is, except “Choose your mugger carefully.”
In my case I would ask a pedestrian who looks like a local for directions as payback for all the tourons who have asked me for directions over the last 20+ years!

If he were conscious, he’d say “Aah! My spleen!”

Not only does he know where he is, but he’s dead on time.

Changing the subject from the above gruesome story, Wiley’s cartoon gave me the big laff of the day. Also enjoyed the comments.

And I have had the lyrics going around in my (empty) head all day. Oh well….at least the brain cell isn’t too lonely that way.
