Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for August 28, 2023

Dam‍ned if you go, da‍mned if you don’t

Of course, a red one.

It’s a whole new world!

You got carpet bombed….

Is that carpet approved by the EPA for low emissions. And is it approved by the FAA for noise abatement over people’s homes?

I can’t think of finding any more perfect carpet to buy than a flying carpet. That would be like winning the Irish Sweepstakes. A perfect shopping trip.

Reminds me of the fling carpet scene in the Douglas Fairbanks movie “Thief of Bagdad”. No graphics, they used a platform with piano wire and a big crane.

I like to dream

Yes, yes, right between the sound machine

On a cloud of sound, I drift in the night

Any place it goes is right

Goes far, flies near to the stars away from here

He only wants a carpet that’s fly.

She should have known there was an ulterior motive for his wanting to go!

Well, you don’t know what we can find…

I know this is a non sequitur, but did Aladin have a last name?

Aladdin, eat your heart out.

She really didn’t have to say that…..but they always do!

The ulterior motive.

Good choice red ones are faster but the cops will see you easier

Red must be a popular color for flying carpet Ferraris

Next stop: Agrabah

Carpet Diem!

I thought only Genies had flying carpets.

He was playing “Magic Carpet Ride” by Steppenwolf!

Why not? Carrying them is a chore.
