Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 13, 2024

“Um. Let’s try another beach.”

“Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water" (Jaws theme starts to play…)

Like – I’m drowning!! HELP!

Wiley Kids again .. too few of ’em.

Lifeguard isn’t even attired to go in the water to rescue anybody.

“Why would you like fries with that order?”

“You must realize that Sharks are just misunderstood aquatic creatures with a predatory superiority complex. I recommend training with a professional shark whisperer.”

It is only your depressing lack of an education that makes you believe that practical actions are required.

They better watch out for sharks and EV Boats.

A little like Cambridge, Mass. sending unarmed social workers out on 911 calls.

Swimmer ever gets out of the water, lifeguard is gonna want to be somewhere else.

That’s a job a psyc major can only wish to land. The joke when in school was “I have a Psyc degree, do you want fries with that?”BS Psyc ’11

He doesn’t like the taste of salt water

Dr Phil in the ’70’s?

They have to want to be rescued.

Uh huh. And how does that shark make you feel?

“And how do you feel about that?”

Not going to have time before those deeper issues get involved – like not breathing underwater.

Psychologists (professionals) are always on the lookout for edge conditions. When my psychologist wife spoke to her psychologist friend about how I loved my cat, she responded, “It’s not sexual, is it?”

“No.”

Blurg, Sputter, Hack, Wheeze!

He has a lot of “buried anxiety” he has to work out!

I think he’s in over his head

About 40 years ago a friend of mine was on antidepressants. He told his shrink that he felt terrible. Ergo, the shrink upped the dose on his pills. He nearly died from the urinary infection the shrink with tunnel vision ignored. The antidepressants had left him susceptible to such infections, and the doctor should have been well aware of that risk.

Should have waited till after the person was rescued for this. I can see anger building and they will strip him naked beat him up and post him somewhere with a sign sticking out his butt saying “PEOPLE FIRST THEN PONTIFICATE!!!”

I could tell you, but none of you would like it

A few weeks ago, the stunt woman who was killed in t he opening scene of JAWS passed away.She was in her 70’s
