The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for September 18, 2022

Wow! That broom can sure pick up speed.

Will that ticket be for speeding or for flying too low?

Cast a forgetting spell on him Harry!

Roads?! Where we’re going We don’t need Roads!!!

“Got swept up in the moment Officer”!

I am the one person who knows nothing about Harry Potter. For all I know he’s a burly man in the can.

Eating fire beans make for flame out of but(t).

I did t realize I was going that fast…

That must be one of those flying motorcycles that Hagrid likes.

Harry didn’t have enough time to start the Dyson V11.

I can’t fly 55.

That’s what he gets for flying so low.

whoa, I guess I’m a fan of “dad jokes!”

Oops, accidentally set my speed charm to reverse.

(Harry is a well known professional holder of this device used to slow down falling Quaffles in Quidditch matches, allowing for Chasers to grab them in mid-air.)

And just how did the cop catch him if he’s riding a motorcycle and Harry’s flying?

“60 in a 22” would not improve things much, if at all.

I took my preschool child to see ET when it was first out. She was quiet and engrossed in the movie. We sat in the back in case of a need to go potty or have to leave. When they got to the part where a lot of grown adults were crying, she suddenly stood up – in the back, so everyone could hear her – and yelled, “What is wrong with you people! He’s just plastic! Why are you crying?” It caught me off guard too, and it did break the ice for some people, as I heard plenty of laughing! She was also small for her size, so she stood on the seat. The good old days! Then she sat back down and watched the rest of the movie quietly.

Quidditching about it and pay the fine.

Uh, this isn’t much of a joke. “Prisoner” and “Patrolman” sound too dissimilar for a pun.

Should have flown at a slightly higher altitude – over the cop’s radar, but still below the FAA’s.

BRAVO!!! (clap clap clap)

Ticket writing business is brooming.
