Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 14, 2021

It’s all the fault of Sting and the Police.

“Dammit! Amazon Prime got my order wrong again!”

Free shipping?

I think he wanted a ship full of bottles

Brilliant, Wiley.

At least it floats!

After years of trying to become published, his ship finally came in…

At least they sent a bigger bottle.

Reply message: “Thanks.” … but … “I’m gonna need a bigger boat.”

That’s what happens when you send a message in a bottle saying “send help”; they do.

Thank goodness he at least wrote “ship” clearly. I’d hate to see what would be delivered otherwise.

The glass is half full

Nevertheless, Amazon delivered his order on time

Our book club just finished what has to be the worst-written book in years: “The Rejected Writer’s Book Club.” Honest to gawd, how does stuff like this get published??

A new meaning to cork up and float…

Soooo, he asked for a shipment of bottles and got a ship in a bottle? Maybe the world is a better place.

:D

For a real life message in a bottle story, see the following. Okay, it wasn’t a deserted island scenario, and a hoax hasn’t been ruled out yet.

Fan mail from some flounder?!?

Send more bottles.

I’d like to know what his message said. JFK got better results with a coconut.

As a technical writer, I find this hilarious! Well done!

I wonder. Just how does the responder’s bottle know where to go?

At least it’s a Big Bottle.
