Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for March 25, 2022

Unlike the lemmings, you can summon a broom to rescue you, Broomie!

Lemmings actually don’t commit mass suicide. The Disney film makers forced them off that cliff for more interesting visuals. Strange, but true.

My brother was made an honorary human.

She forgot her broom.

Why did she accept the honor, then??

In a few seconds, it won’t really matter.

Meep meep meep

Lemming jokes are out of date, old hat, not remotely based in fact. They should be extinct.

Someone must’ve recommended her to the lemmings, a certain vulture perhaps.

A mighty mass of furry little mindless animals

A million lemmings marching to the sea

We are lemmings

We are crazies

- National Lampoon’s Lemmings

Life handed her lemmings. Now she needs lemming aid.

From James Thurber’s “Interview with a Lemming”:

“It may interest you to know that I have made a lifelong study of lemmings, just as you have made a lifelong study of people. Like you, I have found but one thing about my subject which I do not understand.”“And what is that?” asked the lemming.“I don’t understand,” said the scientist, “why you lemmings all rush down to the sea and drown yourselves.”“How curious,” said the lemming. “The one thing I don’t understand is why you human beings don’t.”

You should join the Elks instead.

Grab your broom, Broomie!

I wonder who gave her the honor?

Yeah. Everyone knows lemmings are light as feathers.

Tsk, tsk, Broomie! Think for yourself, before it’s too late! (Which it may already be….)

Um, No

Hahahaha!
