From our Maltese Falcon (who we trust is still petitioning GC for his release from the pen): “To all Cappers past and present Today strip IS funny our HERO Mr Andrew Capp avoided getting in trouble with Flo’s mum just by changing pubs :o) my avatar is a spoof about how a jellyfish survived for millions of years without a single brain cell is good news for stupid people :o), hope y’all have a nice day, our hump day should be busy but we will cope I hope , no shopping or errands to run we both are in a good mood in spite of the continuing heat wave so we will just stay inside in areas with A/C or large fans an drink lots of chilled bottled water, with this global warming what’s next snowing in Kenya.”

These pub names are a bit out of control. Soon he’ll be going to the “Aardvark and Bic Pen”.

So, why are you telling us, Andy? Look at Florrie, when you’re speaking to/at her…

Discretion is the better part of valor

How often does this occur? Maybe Mum is also a dipsomaniac and doesn’t like the comparison nor competition?

Andy’s MIL must have scared the begeebers out of him – He came home sober?

Speaking of mothers-in-law, one of my alltime favorites was about Andy’s dear ol’ mum: Andy is trying to cadge some money from Flo (probably to donate to a worthy cause…), but she refuses. “Me mum warned me that yer were greedy and grasping!” “What, yer mean yer mum didn’t want me to marrry yer?” “That’s right!” Flo begins to sob into her hankie: “How I’ve wronged that poor woman!” Andy is reduced to, “Shaddup!”

The predecessor to SEPTA’s Norristown high speed rail line was the P&W (Philadelphia & Western), also known as the Pig & Whistle. At least that’s what my Mom called it. She rode it to school in her college days (1930’s).

If you don’t want to cross the ocean, there is a replica of the Rose and Crown at Epcot, Disney.

I thought Andy would be mum about Flo’s Mum!

Good job Andy!

The first thing you should do when entering a new pub is to scope out where the bathroom and the back door are located. You never know when you’ll be needing them!

Whatever works!

Actually, avoiding people you don’t get along with is a pretty good idea. Flo doesn’t seem to think so, however.

Good for Andy for avoiding the inevitable conflict. And feeling so proud of himself for the way he handled it, he apparently chose to keep the shine on his halo and came home early — and sober?
