Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 28, 2023

it’s tough being a comedian/joker these days.

Now that’s a REALLY old joke – no wonder he looks puzzled. I’m not quite sure what the proprietor (I assume) is waiting for …

I would just kick it into the curb, just like I do with the occasional stick that breaks off a tree.

Maybe its trigger for a bigger, better joke.

This is too banana republic to make sense!

Not very appealing. Or maybe too appealing?

Banana jokes are from the bottom of the bunch.

I’ve always wondered why they called a shop that sells used reading material an “old bookstore”, when it should be an “oldbook store” – especially if it’s new bricks’n’mortar. Hmmmm?

Coming up next: the hazards of getting some skin in the game.

I think the last comedian to get any laughs from this joke was Milton Berle (in drag).

Soone to be the target of ye olde lawsuit.

He should just slip on by.

A shop that offered really old practical jokes of a similar nature would provide far worse than banana peels. (“Haw, haw! Ooga slip in stinky rhino goop!”)

If that fellas name is Freudian his is more than likely heading for a bit of history.

the owner has his hand on the door jamb hoping he’ll pull his finger.

“Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.”

I’ve hit many of those playing Mario Cart, it’ll spin you around.

Looking down, he hears the voice ‘’ Try it. You know you want to. Go on.’’

And this was how Morty J. Slidehammer, got to meet all those nice doctors and nurses.

Not an olde banana… peels turn brown pretty quickly.

Once upon a time banana peels were slippery, back before the Cavendish took over the market.

I was at Target a couple of days ago and I kid you not, there was a banana peel in exactly this posture right outside my car door. I thought to myself, “what is this, some kind of joke?” :-D It was perfect.

Hear tell he should polish his shoes with that thing.

A golden oldie. Charlie Chaplin first used the gag in 1915 in his two-reeler “By the Sea.”

The old joker is peering around the door.

Shop owner is a ‘response timer.’ He wants to see how long the guy stands there studying the peel before walking away. And he wants to see how the guy makes his exit – reverse or sidling around the peel, as if he’s afraid of it.

If I see the banana peel, why would I walk on it?

He’ll fall right on his potassium.

I always think “What would happen if a lawyer slipped on it and broke his hip?” It keeps me from indulging my malicious whims.

I don’t eat bananas. Once I peel them and throw away the bone, there’s nothing left.

Is it stuck to the sidewalk or what???

It’s cream pies, you fool! Who uses bananas any more?

I think this joke needs to be compounded by putting the banana peel on a whoopee cushion.

I’ve never understood why banana peels are considered the apotheosis of slipperiness. But it turns out they really are slippery:https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/physics-slipping-banana-peel-and-other-weird-science-honored-ig-nobel-awards-180952787/

There is a nationwide shortage of wallets-on-a-string.

And whenever somebody slips on a banana peel,either Mr.Laurel or Mr.Hardy is certain to be holding a banana.

Would have been a better cartoon if there were a law office next door to the joke shop.

I half expected that to be a bear peering from around the corner

And next door is Ye Olde Accident Lawyer.

Bananas are radioactive, but you’d need university equipment to detect it

Is there a discount for a Pratt fall?

Is this cartoon supposed to Funny??? NOT.

I don’t care for bananas. You peel one, and throw away the bone, and you have nothing left!

My favorite store!

Ye Olde Joke.

It is a side splitter!

Slip sliding away….

Emphasis on Olde.

somebody needs a vacation. a long one.

That guy in the shop looks like a human version of the Wiley Bear!
