Quick Cache — a locker

Quick Catch….full of water with live fish..and a hook you manipulate with a joystick.

Quick Clutch Has mechanical arms, for when you really really need a hug.

Quick Clash….Scans your clothes and dispenses the wrong color scarf or tie.

Quick Kvetch…

Put in a quarter, and the microphone will record your complaints about my jokes….

Quick klatch: 5-minute coffee-drinking meeting.

How about quick scotch?

A quick cachet machine would get my seal of approval.

How about a Quick E ?

Heard this one before. Quick cliche.

I killed a squid in Memphis, just to watch him dye.

“STOPPED” eating quiche, Bruno?

Rekam…. thanks. Very kind.I was joking, of course…but you know, in reality, you’d be surprised.If you put yourself out there, and say dopey things…some people are gonna think you’re actually dopey (which, of course, might be true …but they don’t have to mention it quite so vociferously, right?)Others will accuse you of “trying” to be funny when you’re not, competing with other posters for attention, or even trying to outshine the cartoonist.Huh?

Luckily my back is pretty waterproof.

Meanwhile… I assure you, and them…I don’t think that far ahead…there’s just stuff bubbling in my fuzzy brain that has to burst out…on the comics, in real life conversation, or sitting home alone talking to the walls…and even they roll their eyes.

Ke$ha?? Didn’t her 15 minutes of fame run out 8 minutes ago?

Bruno ZeigertsI am fairly sure I tried it once (don’t remember the circumstances), didn’t like it, so never had it to give up. Books my alter my thinking, but seldom my diet.

I’ll take some quick quiche.
