Brevity by Dan Thompson for March 22, 2023

Who can it be now?

The handle grip at the end of Sven’s pick axe here could be useful on a shovel, but doesn’t seem right (neither useful nor helpful) on a pick axe.

Where’s Ole?

Where’s the other sign “THE REST ARE SUPERVISING”

His wife just calls him “Hun”.

The sign makes sense. Sven (or svend) translates from Scandinavian languages as either “journeyman” or “fellow”.

It’s usually 1 or 2 at work and the other 5 or 6 “supervising”.

Pillaging the sewers.

In case he has an accident, Sven always brings an extra pair of plunderwear.
