The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 26, 2021

5 out of 4 people will understand that…..

Just give it your 110% and everything will be okay.

New math, it’s so simple, only a child can do it!

Brutus is so helpful.

I think he wants you to clarify but he’s afraid to ask.

Perfect!! And 3 out of 2 ain’t bad!! I bet that Brutus is also great with fractions!!

(O _ O)

“Calling #3, Calling #3!”

He is good at math, but terrible at counting.

Can’t count to three Brutus? ;D

What’s the third thing, Loser?

There are 3 kinds of people, Brutus. Those who are good with math, and those who aren’t.

That was mean, after all, he wasn’t in class.

1. Pay attention.

2. Pay respect. If that doesn’t work,

3. Pay a tutor.

And number 3? Get a good Tutor. No, not dad.

Revealing what an old f**t I am, this made me recall Jethro Bowden on the Beverly Hillbillies learning his “goes-in-tas” being taught division in school. Always thought it sounded like Jethro was blessing someone after the had sneezed.

3 – According to the Book of Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one – The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch

There are two types of people in this world: 1) Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

what’s the third one? WHAT’S THE THIRD ONE?! it’s like being stuck in a knock knock joke, but no ones answering!

He’s just checking to see if the boy is paying attention.

Dad may be very good in math, but he still doesn’t get it.

My son used to explain things as A. (first reason) and #2 (second reason).

3 to go!

Dad humor.

Atta baby Brutus, keep em dangling.

A man among boys, a boy among men.

#3-Go ask your Mother.

…and smile a lot!

Three lessons in life that we all need to learn in any subject in school or any assignment at work, even if it’s only has two elements. The way it was said by Brutus did get his son’s attention and Brutus knows, as evidenced by his smile……….

“And a fanatical devotion to the pope” (Oh, no, that’s number four…) ☺

Sounds pretty good to me. While I can do some pretty complex math, DO NOT EVER ask me to explain it. Because I can’t

and 3. Cheat! but Brutus does not go there. That’s off limits Wilberforce. Way outta bounds.

The two rules of Life: 1. never tell everything

Three, don’t ask Brutus for help with your math homework…

Give Brutus a break the third thing is so obvious that it doesn’t need to be mentioned.

Bad math aside, Wilberforce wasn’t lookin’ for a pep talk, he was lookin’ for answers. I guess in a way he got it, don’t go to Pop.

will work only if your math teacher is a good, patient person who understands that not everyone understands math right away. In high school, I had one math teacher who called anyone who didn’t get everything the first time, “dummy.” Needless to say, I never asked a question in that class.

This sounds like a problem for Wilberforce to go to mom on

Great setup. Could be one of Jack Benny’s. If Wilberforce can’t figure out one and two, three won’t help even if he does consider Brutus the teacher. (3. Follow rules one and two, starting then.)

Dad only made 2 of the 3 points. So much for his math ability.

I’m fine with math, until the alphabet gets involved.

Don’t ask ME to help. I can’t count to 20, without taking my shoes off, and anything over 20 gets just downright embarrassing.

Completely agree with those who are coming down on Brutus’ side here. He’s purposely using Dad humor to test Wilberforce. The smile tells all. Go, Brutus!

I made a joke like that! “sorry, i am very bad at two things, counting and remebering names!”

No expects the Spanish Inquisition.
