Monty by Jim Meddick for August 29, 2021

Scuuuber.

“Beep! Beep!”

[Monty’s doorbell rings; he opens it]

Monty: “Yes? -Hey, aren’t you-”

Wile E. Coyote: “Here’s a blank check. I want that scooter”

It’s one of THOSE electric scooters.

♬ The fellow rolled down his window

And yelled for me to hear

“Hey, Buddy, how can I get this car

Out of second gear!" ♪♩

— The Playmates, Beep, Beep

Sawzall! Call it what it is. Doesn’t matter, what company makes it or what color it is. It’s a Sawzall.

This has been a public service message from, the ‘’U. S. Call Tools by Their Right Names Department’’. Thank You.

If we move towards more electric cars are we also going to have a sixties sort of hot-rodder craze where we have guys bragging about re-winding their armatures to get two percent more horsepower?

Since Monty rarely leaves the couch, why does he need a SawzAll?

What’s special about a Sawzall battery? Does it reciprocate?

Yield signs are triangular not square…

Looks like it was an exciting ride, even though it was short. Glad Monty wasn’t hurt.

Didn’t Monty used to have neighbors? Like in the previous storylines about backyards? Why is his house suddenly an isolated country estate?

My Milwaukee 18 volt weed whacker will cut weeds ALL day with its huge battery.

Now, if I only had weeds all day.

My neighbor borrowed his kid’s electric scooter for a short trip to the store. Broke his heel and now, six months and three surgeries later, is just beginning to work with a cane. These are dangerous, even in the “right hands”.

HE SURVIVED!!!

Never turn the key to the “ludicrous” setting!

So it works, right?…..

I hate when that happens!

Scooter catastrophe! It’s not that Monty “accidentally” does stuff. He’s just an incompetent doofus who should not be allowed out in public unless on a leash!
