Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for April 19, 2014

His stomach is so empty, it is growling.

Be grateful he only took a pound

And he wasn’t lion.

“Take then thy bond. Take thou thy pound of flesh.But in the cutting it, if thou dost shedOne drop of Christian blood, thy lands and goodsAre by the laws of Venice confiscateUnto the state of Venice.” — Billy Shakespeare, ‘The Merchant of Venice’

Looks more like a pound of entrails.

If he’s lion, you’re dyin’

Change jobs! (If you can.)

That’s one job he can no longer stomach.

++++

Bet he won’t belly ache there again!

+++++

He still has a spine; he can stand up to the boss. Once.
