Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 25, 2021

I expect that good advice is more likely to be found in a library, an automotive repair place or a law office than on a street corner.

A good example of a bad example.

What he needs is somebody to give him advice.

From the looks of him, it doesn’t appear he needs to add more vices.

If I’d followed all the “good advice” I’ve been given I’d be lucky to be the guy standing beside him.

Well, when the choice is offered, who do you give money to?

Wiley must have been desperate for ideas. This one’s a real stinker.

Just another day at the corner of High and Mighty.

Good – Add-vice? Better – Subtract-vice?

Usually the best advice I get at a street corner is to either “WALK” or DON’T WALK".

Reminds me of the “good advice” ads before and during YouTube videos I watch that I don’t hesitate to hit the Skip Ad button if provided. If that button isn’t provided, then I refresh the page or let the ad play out while I check my email or visit the commode.

I don’t get it.

Perhaps the embodiment of lyrics Kathryn Beaumont wrote in a song for a 1951 movie: “I give myself very good advice, But I very seldom follow it, That explains the trouble that I’m always in.”

S-o-o-o-o the bottle filled barrel on the corner means . . .?

If people rarely pay for “good” advice, what advice are they getting from their brokers?

I know a man named Otis who invented a room

And his heart was filled with pride

I said to Mr. Otis, “What does your room do?”

He said, “It goes from side to side.”

I like giving out free advice. That way, you get your money’s worth.

Over the years, I’ve discovered that a lot of people really like the sound of good advice. They never change their basic behavior. That’s character.

Never take advice from someone who isn’t where you want to be.

“Wandering in a vast forest at night, I have only a faint light to guide me. A stranger appears and says to me: ‘My friend, you should blow out your candle in order to find your way more clearly.’ This stranger is a theologian.” —Denis Diderot (1713-1784), French encyclopedist and philosopher

Is he a member of the ad-vice squad?

What does the comment about being a giver not a taker mean? Is he implying that the guy willing to work for food is a taker?

Didn’t Charlie Brown have a strip with Lucy giving advice for cash?
