Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for May 01, 2023

The King needs to float his boat in the moat.

Foing!

HMS Trebuchet…..

Aaah, The military industrial complex – charging premium prices, providing discount products.

He asked for a boat launch without being specific and that’s what he got.

If that is the Boat Launching. What or how are they going to do the Boat Recovery when they are done boating for the day?

Isn’t Id landlocked?

It’s a sea plane.

A boat fit for a FINK!

I like this story ark.

Skipping the Requirements Review meeting…gets you into trouble every time

I love literalist jokes.

Literally.

But it seems to work pretty well.

If that is all he asked for, he got it.

Sometimes you get exactly what you ask for, but it’s not exactly what you want. You gotta pay for it anyway.

If the boat lands in water, it works.

Cata-boat!

It’s the next best think when the moats been dried up for years!

Fink should’ve taken a look at the plans first. Oh well. At least now he has a swell catapult.

Where’s the water?

The contractors seemed to have made an “air oar”.

Similar to a US Navy side launch of USS Cleveland in April on top of tug boat. (Navy says side launches to be discontinued.)

Given the price of trebuchets probably not the lowest bidder.

Bad Statement of Work.

Come on, you have to admit that they successfully launched your boat.

He can discuss this later. They’re out to launch.

Must have hired Elon.

There were a few pages missing in the specs.

Not terrible if the boat holds up on splashdown.

Might come in handy for the next flood

Seem like the King should have been more specific of “WHERE” the boat launch was to be located …… like near water …………… of course probably the type of launch should also been more specific ………….. :)

The funniest today!!

I think he hired Dill’s brothers.

Contractors played too much Age of Empires 2.

Brings the fun back into fishing.

I’m waiting for the splash. Yip yip yip yip yip

Shouldn’t have given the contract to Acme.

Ship ahoy!

this is what happens when engineers play Minecraft.

Tre-boat-chet?

He did say ‘boat launch’ after all…

it did what he asked for

Wow, how did they get the IT department from where I work on a project in Id?
