Monty by Jim Meddick for April 23, 2021

Well you know he makes a pretty good point.

Self-centered little toad.

When I was a kid, I recall April Fools jokes being limited to trying to get people to believe things that weren’t true. “Practical jokes” weren’t part of it. Be that as it may, there’s no such thing as a funny practical joke.

Sneaky little twit, isn’t he?

We kids used to tie the chair legs together under the dining room table – and therefore had cold food for dinner.

Every day is April Fool’s day in the life of an employee.

Jarvis needs a onesie. A coverall. A “Science Suit!”

“I believe that’s part of the challenge, sir.”

Actually, the fact Sedgewick did anything kind or thoughtful on his own should have been the give away.

I have often wondered what these characters have to do with Monty and company.

It’s his island – he declared all of April as “Fool’s Month.”

Canny little devil!

Anyone does that to my beer and they’re gonna be sorry! burp. :)

Back on April 1 I posted the following on my database product’s community forum:

I’m having a problem with a script step that USED to work just fine (so I know its syntax is OK), but lately I can’t get it to do anything at all, and I can’t figure out why. I’ve run the script repeatedly under Script Debugger, and it always just stops when it gets to this step.

I’ve copied the description out of the Help file, so maybe somebody else can spot something I’ve been missing:

Name: TimeTravel

Format: TimeTravel ( Number )

Usage: Enter a positive value for “Number” to move that many seconds forward in time; enter a negative value to move that many seconds backward. Do not enter a value above 1000. Repeated uses are cumulative.

Caution: Use with care. May lead to confusion, entropy, confusion, mutual atomic annihilation if you encounter your past self, acid reflux, and confusion. .noisufnoc esuac osla yaM

I’m confused. Any help appreciated.

That kid’s about the size of a foot ball, so…

This might be a good time to introduce the little joker to Ship’s Discipline, Jarvis. I believe that is in your Job Description….
