The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 16, 2021

so what ? it’s still funny.

Too bad he can’t sell Mother Gargle. I suppose he would have to pay someone to take her, and let’s face it: Brutus doesn’t have that kind of money.

And that hair went out of style at the Salem Witch Trials, mother Gargle.

OK give me $100 and I’ll think about it.

Leave it to Mother Gargoyle to add some “jocularity” to the situation – NOT!!

/SHEESH/

It’s trying to make a comeback, whether you like it or not.

She’s still the biggest joke in the room.

take my wife, please…

What is henny? I’ve never heard that before. I assume it is used here in a pejorative manner.

Her hair style works only if she is a witch.

Ahh the classics. When humor didn’t necessitate profanity in its execution by those pros. Take my wife, please……

I remember Henny Youngman from the Ed Sullivan show back when I was a kid

Drive-in theaters are doing the same thing. Ours closed in the mid eighties.

Neither one looks old enough to remember vaudeville. Kids today have no idea who abbott and costello are!

You’re not exactly a class act either, Gargle.

But some of us still think it’s funny!

She would know when Vaudeville went out of style… she was there.

Oh, THAT Henny Youngman!

You just can’t joke with some mother-in-laws.

Mother Gargle would know, having been there back then ;)

Take my jokes, please.

I just flew in from Vegas and, boy, are my jokes tired.

Well he can get more for Gladys than he can get for you Mother Gargle, relatively speaking.

Bet a bunch out there don’t understand the vaudeville reference, nor who Henny is (or was)…..what a shame!

But Brutus is still a Youngman!

Brutus old boy – you would have to pay someone to take Glady’s.

You had that one coming, Brutus.

What does Henny mean? I assume it is derogatory.
