The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for April 17, 2022

Infamous?

Recently someone told me, “Let me be the Tylenol for that headache.” I said I will, and thank you for working your acetaminophen off.

Sounds like my place…

Burl, just take a knap like the others… and before you know it, you will be at the Stampede Buffet…!

And on your right, you will see a bunch of dirt and grass that, so far as you know, was the site of a famous battle. But if it’s not, who cares, because you won’t know the difference. And now, I have another request from the portly gent in the third row to loop back to the snack bar.

Chicago has a Monster Tours bus. They stop in the middle of the street and show where the St. Valentines massacre was. If I was driving by in my truck I’d yell “It’s a freaking parking lot and you’re blocking traffic.”

Remember what burl actually means: a bump on a log.
