Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for July 23, 2024

Call it what? My gophers aren’t on a family plan. Seems they like to spread out. Not into condensed neighborhoods.

And next time, bury bones, not your phone.

1-800-DIG DOGS … Call Before You Dig.

I do that for my wife’s phone at least once a week. It’s usually in the bed buried under covers and pillows. You can barely hear the ring if you’re right on top of it.

wonder what kind of pup Mr Coverly has?

That’s one phone call that will dig up a lot of dirt.

I wish I could bury my phone sometimes ! ;-)

He’s so worried, he’s soiling himself.

If only it had a wire attached to it, then you’d always be able to find it.

I remember a time when telephone signals came through a wire in the wall and TV signals came over the air.

Our daughter un-law visited w/ Son a couple of weeks ago. Lost her phone. Which she had turned to “silent” so it wouldn’t wake her if someone texted or called. So calling it is useless. “Ping” (whatever that is) says it’s near here. We’ve looked EVERYWHERE. Nope. Then we looked again, with flashlights and looking also in totally unlikely places. Nope. So we shrugged and she told Cricket that it was lost and is back in the phone-user business with a new one. Monday was washing day, and Spouse insists that she washed a particular pair of pants. I’m the one who took all the pants out of the dryer and those particular ones weren’t there. We’ve looked EVERYWHERE. Nope. But we have figured out where the phone is: It’s in the pocket of those missing pants.

His ring tone is,“Who Let the Dogs Out?”

Oh, NOW you think of that!
