That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 30, 2019

The problem was they both wanted to be the bad cop.

No one expects the Spanish Indigestion.

The argument weather to have Italian or Chinese food got out of hand that night.

D’Artagnan and Porthos just when they had just caught one of Cardinal Richelieu’s minions.

“You’re gonna stay like that until you agree to wear the same as us.“

“If my wife’s cooking doesn’t make him talk at least it will make him euphoric that he’s not married to her.”

“Tell you what…I’ll be an airplane and you be the hanger.” (Google ‘Maypo Commercial’ if you don’t get the connection.)

“If you don’t talk, we’ll give you a second helping of my wife’s cooking.”

Guy in chair: If you insist on feeding him, you’re the one that gonna take him to the men’s room.

Okay, one more time, put the device in your mouth, inhale, hold it in for a minute, exhale. That’s called vaping. The oil inside is available in various flavors even kids like. And remember, no-one forced you to do this.

You sissy Cavaliers with your curls and your lace collars! You’ll never beat the pious, manly Roundheads! Never, I say!

Up there – on the wall – Is that the menu ?

The prisoner looks rather pale/ the fare would make anyone quail/ one needn’t ask why/it’s a damp rhubarb pie/ with a large side order of kale.

“Are you sure you want to do this Dr. Jekyll?”

“America? You’re sending me to that rat infested s### hole?” /s

Here comes Cromwell!

I say old chap. Untie him and let him feed himself. He wouldn’t run from good English food and these wonderful accommodations. Now prisoner, be a good lad and tell us about this tobacco drug you’ve smuggled in from the Colonies. Is it truly as addictive as you claim? Marvelous!

You’ve been sitting here for 10 years refusing to eat your broccoli. Your mother hired us to make you eat it so she can have her table back.

When Wilberforce answered the ad for a food taster, little did he know how much he’d be tied to the job.

Hey, everybody, please be sure to check out Steve Melcher’s post yesterday, and the info down below, about his new “That is Priceless” ebook. Also, because I posted a comment way late yesterday, I’m going to post it here again today so that everyone knows what a good deal this book is – 345 pictures for $2.99!

From yesterday: Quote from S. Melcher’s post: “That’s like 88 cents a laugh."

Hey, Mr. Melcher, upon checking out the Amazon site, I’m happy to report you have made an arithmetic error. The Kindle book is $2.99 to buy. The ad says there are 345 pictures. That makes each picture under nine-tenths of a cent (0.0086), WAY lower than 88 cents each! A wonderful bargain, to say the least!

(Perhaps this one is better): “In town, we tried every grocer/ but the answer was always ‘Nossir’/ so you’ll eat wot yer fed/ til we cuts off yer ‘ead/ an’ we don’t give a damn if it’s Kosher !”

everyone hated the fat Pirate and so he had farther Alfonse taste his food first, the priest didn’t like the job or the food, too rich. so he had to be tied up.

It is always the same. The pledges want to join the fraternity; but then balk at the cinnamon challenge.
