Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 27, 2020

A German shepherd, a Doberman and a cat have died. All three are faced with God, who wants to know what they believe in.

The German Shepherd says “I believe in discipline, training, and loyalty to my master.”

“Good!” says God. “Then sit down on my right side.”

The Doberman says “I believe in love, care, and protection of my master.”

“Aha!” exclaims God. “You many sit on my left.”

The cat, who’s been cleaning his face, then absent-mindedly remarks “I believe you’re sitting in my chair.”

Why can I see the only two sane souls in that bar are… the cats!?!

I’ll post it again. Hope it saves one life somewhere

Wearing masks and washing hands works.

I’m from an industrial background where masks are used to prevent people from inhaling stuff. It took me a while to realize that with covid the intend is to prevent an infected person from spreading it rather than to prevent infection by those around you. If a person is asymptomatic o mildly symptomatic they can spread the virus and the mask is to reduce that spread. It also helps to protect you from infection but the big benefit is to keep it from spreading.

If unchecked the virus has an R factor some where around 6 and the curve rises exponentially. When people use masks and act responsibly the curve goes down which means the R factor is reduced to less than 1 and will eventually disappear. That’s proof that masks work.

If you think masks don’t work tell that to the surgeon next time you’re in for an operation. Tell him masks don’t work and not to bother to wear one and not to bother washing his hands. Listen to what he says.

Wearing a mask is being respectful of those around you and shows your intelligence. Not wearing a mask is being selfish. Be a responsible adult and wear a mask

Spellbindin’ tales from the sea, eh?

In your face.

Somewhere there’s a universe where McCain won in 2008 and died in office, and that universe’s Sarah Palin is claiming she should be getting ready to start her third term.

Guess this universe ain’t so bad after all.

Eddie’s beside himself…

For all his unusual experiences, 2020 was a reality Captain Eddie wasn’t ready for. Not sure any of us were.

This one answers the most frequently asked question of the day – What universe are these people living in?

There are 2 alternatives, both inhabited by normally sensible people, but the population of one of them is decreasing by the day.

H-m-m-m, now in which one do I want to sign up? Not a hard question.

Now my head hurts!

I think I’d want to wear more than a mask if I walked into a Level-4, Chinese, bio-lab that COVID-19 calls home.

(enjoys what I had believed to had been a certain part* of a serialized story; mentionings my love for the concept of serialized stories)

And the dogs said, “Hey look, a talking cat!”

Here’s another irrelevant joke: A pitbull, a doberman, and a German shepherd are walking together. The pitbull says, “God says I’m the greatest.” The Doberman replies,"No, God has told me I’m the greatest. The German shepherd then said, “What did I say?”

How can you be two places at once when you’re nowhere at all? Only Eddie.

So far not one word about Eddies in the space-time continuum?

So far not one word about Eddies in the space-time continuum?

I’ve never had a neighbor with a cat that kept me awake all night.

Everyone knows you’re allowed to not wear a mask while smoking. Eddie has a pipe in his mouth all the time, therefore he’s exempt.

I’d love to see the reaction of an anti-maker if they were going into surgery and saw the doctors weren’t going to wear masks!

Isn’t there a physics law about the conservation of mass? Does it pertain to parallel universes?

And, the Multiverse was never quite the same after.

It’s all Paulie the Cat’s fault.

They are the ones controlling all of Captain Eddie’s strange travels.
