Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 26, 2017

“…Shall I tell thee the tale of Scheherazade, my lord?”

Or, as Mel Brooks said in ‘History of the World, Part 1’, when you die at the palace, you really die at the palace.

“Stop me if you’ve heard this one….”

Looks like the “Memorial Hall of Presidential Press Secretaries”!

He’s worked so hard to get there, only to make a fool of himself.

On the other hand he already has a hat that color. Maybe the King is jest looking for an orange one, like……well, you know….

Bids are at $1525

The king apparently doesn’t like knock-knock jokes.

Yee-haw! Jester’s dead!

Jesters were about the only ones allowed to speak truth to power at the court.

Chopping today?

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.-Touchstone, As You Like It

Obviously, Open Mic Night at the castle can a bit dicey.

No wonder so many jesters are driven to drink……As regards the current clownish climate, not even General Kelly is heeded when speaking truth to power, which is why I think he will quit to save his sanity pretty soon.

Could be worse: could be heads attached to the hats.

There are. Shrunken.

That looks like a really, really tough room to work.

He should be safe, the king already has a red one.
