The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for March 05, 2020

SIGN LANGUAGE Why is Billy wearing a top hat?

Is Miss Tappet knocking?

Ms. Taggart should be pleased as punch that she has that class instead of Caulfield.

“Class participation is 50% of your grade.”

She should try to teach out of the box!

she’s gonna have to get used to getting the silent treatment…

They’re in boxes, they cant hear you. You’ll have to use sign language!

On the bright side, you won’t have to tell them to hold down the noise.

One of them mimes needing to use the bathroom. The teacher tells him to speak up.

This class starts and ends at mime o’clock.

What’s the capital of Andorra? What’s the capital of the Sumitomo Trust & Banking?

she killed one of them after school..then was remorseful because a mime is a terrible thing to waste

But they’re the ideal child: seen but not heard….

Must not be very good mimes if none can mime a question.

Mums the word in this class!

Ok, then; let’s move on. Everyone get out your pretend text books, and pretend like you’re reading and turning the pages.

Their previous teacher was Sister Mary Elephant.

First onr that speaks flunks the class

She needs a Playtex FIT session.

Also, what beats a straight flush against Doc Holliday?
