The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for July 02, 2020

This one is funny. Smart mouthing and you think you can dash off? Oh I found it by the way.

Reminds me in mid 70’s El Paso. My friends uncle from out of town was visiting. Common activity at the time was to cross the border and visit Mexico. I accompanied them. On the way home at the border checkpoint they asked our nationality. We all replied “American” but one. Yes good old uncle said something cute. They just pointed to the side and said pull over there. We waited for what seemed like an hour for searches. My friends dad was mad at his brother. Oh did I say I found it? Just checking if you were still reading this.

Burl’s a bit soft in the head, challenging a whole road crew, when they have the power to make his journey miserable.

Maybe he needs a hard hat like theirs.

 

I’m sure the Illinois DOT would be happy to provide a special one for him…

Will he notice that instead of “I.D.O.T.” his says “I.D.I.O.T.”?

 

I had to comb the picture for a while… but I found it.

I decided I should say …

It’s NOT the guy’s fingers on the signpost… which I saw first.

If you stop there, thinking you’ve found it… you haven’t.

 

I really don’t want to give any spoilers… but that doesn’t give any hints as to where it is.

Is that OK?

Answer… 1 to hold up a sign… 4 to hold up a car…!

I think I found it. Kind of hard to tell.

They’ll only hold him up long enough to put down a layer of fresh tarry oil.

Burl’s just jealous.

One: I have never seen four people holding a sign. Two: Why does Burl need a co-worker it is not like he loads and unloads stuff for people. He just fills out paperwork and process payments

you have to go over it with a fine tooth comb to find it

Burl needs a special IDiOT hard hat! When you first read the hard hats, you read it as IDIOT…

….and you driving the streamroller……….come on over and give these dweebs a flat top………

Found it

What’s orange and sleeps 3? …..a county pickup.

I like the car’s license plate…

More like ‘how many women on road crews do a single thing BUT hold up a sign?’ I haven’t seen any of them demanding to be given a shovel or jackhammer. Ever.
