Monty by Jim Meddick for November 07, 2020

Be more explicit, Monty.

Lincoln assassination jokes; too soon…..

But what is it with actors and republicans?

“Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln…how did you like the play…?”

What, too soon?

Monty must be pretty tall

MR?! Lincoln?! For shame Monty.

It didn’t work Monty. Maybe you should have waylaid Booth?

Say nooo moooore!

A classic Bob Newhart routine:

I bet you just planted the idea to go see it now, Monty. I know how this usually works.

Tell him the book is better.

I think he’s developing a “paradox tic”. With our luck, we’d end up with John Wilkes Booth succeeding Lincoln.

Nice try, Monty. Sadly, you failed. History did not change….

What would the world be like if Mr Lincoln hadn’t been killed? Or Kennedy for that matter?

Nice. Can’t warn Abe directly about the play “Our American Cousin” so warns him instead about the 1980s film “My American Cousin” which according to IMDB was exactly as Monty described.

“Other than that, how was the play Mrs Lincoln?”

Why are people saying it’s “too soon” for Lincoln assassination jokes? Lincoln was killed way back in 1865?! And it’s been almost 6 decades since any American president was assassinated??
