Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 01, 2024

i think this is for the echo

The Dornduffers next door did too.

Well the neighbors didn’t. The bugle got on MY nerves. Old Mrs. Dorchester had to go to a rest home. She kept thinking it was Gabriel blowing his horn.

Well, sure — but those “Edith Ann” chairs cost a fortune in upkeep.

Chairs are nice, but announcements should have a podium.

If announcements are to be made, who has the “floor”?

The megaphone was not better. Ask the Pincherbuttons.

Always better to spill the beans at cocktail hour.

I say we table the announcements.

Scooter’s announcing his run… For the Dogcatcher’s pants…

Good morning Balladeers!

Those old soap boxes are hard to find now.. but everyone has chairs, I can see the transition was necessary.

And how did you do them before?

I see broken bones coming.

Gladys always ends up being chair leader.

Yes, we just used to sit….period!

The dog is thinking: is he finally going to reveal his gender? :)

The co-chairs will have to bring this session to order — it’s clear the Fluppendooples are not up to the task, and Sparky hasn’t yet mastered Robert’s Rules of Order.

No one likes to be upstaged.

Considering they used to use microphones, this is an improvement.

Before that, it was megaphones.

who’s chairing this meeting…?

☺

How can Jerry make me laugh out loud every time!!?!?!
