Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 01, 2021

I’ve got my towel. I’m cool.

When step 1 is “panic”, I usually look for step 2.

There’s always time to panic later.

That sign is as comforting as, ’I’m from the government and I’m here to help you’.

And Jesus appeared among his disciples and said “Have no Fear …” and they said “We didn’t, until you said that!”

Too Late.

i might prefer unsocial. Social and anti-social media (influencers) are almost in bed together!

Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho!

How many dead today, Joe?

You voted for over 3 more years of this. Yeah, you’d better panic.

Take some hydroxyzine. I have a prescription.

He’ll never get any followers by telling people NOT to panic

Along the same lines as “don’t look (down/now)“

I have my binky. I won’t panic

“If you can keep your head when those about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you… then maybe you haven’t grasped the situation properly."

I’ve got my Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, no problem

Vogon poetry?

“The modified Stationary Panic” – Patrick McManus.

Legitimacy is given by others. Doesn’t matter if you’re too stupid to pour pi*s out of a boot when the directions are printed on the heel – if people decide you’re the Messiah they treat you as the Messiah. But who’s the greater fool, the schmuck mindlessly running off at the mouth (social influencer) or the zombie hordes hanging on his/her every vapid word?

Captain talking to his troops, “You, you and you – panic. The rest of you follow me.”

I rather liked the instruction I got from the MRI tech just before they did an MRI of my neck. He said, “Don’t Swallow”, which of course became the only thing I thought about and had to swallow over and over. Which really made a mess of that MRI

I usually hear that just before someone tells me they are going to knock a spider off my collar.

Barney Fife: “This is an Emergency!! Do Not Panic!!”, “This is an Emergency!! Do Not Panic!!”

Why are you in a panic?

I don’t know.

You don’t know?

Then why are you in a panic?

Because I don’t know why I’m in a panic.

This could become a tv series.

Not written in large, friendly letters.

42, not to worry. Now for the question.

Keep calm and carry on. (I don’t really know, how to go about panicking.)

Where is Alfred E. when we need him?

When the daily new case count in my county goes from 6 to over 100 in a month, I believe a certain amount of panic may be justified.

The whole ‘influencer’ thing makes me very uneasy. Nobody tells me what to do or how to live. I quit allowing peer pressure at age 13 and all the rest when I left home at age 18. I have a brain so choose to live with in certain societal parameters and and at work it is a contractual exchange between me and my employer, behavior-paycheck. Looking forward now to late retirement and leaving the contract thing behind.

Keep calm and carry on.

Oh,great.If those “THE END IS NEAR” signs weren’t bad enough.

Now we have to figure out what KIND of end is near.

Aren’t they all?

“Emergency! Everybody to get from street!”

Too late, I’m already there; panicking! What’s next?

That sign is a warning for the next sign behind him.

He’s right. Panic never solves anything.

If anything, panic makes things worse.

Nothing prompts creativity like a bit of panic.

Unless you see someone walking down the street in his pajamas, carrying a bath towel.
