Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 07, 2024

there is a price to be paid for honesty, Andy.

One of the great mysteries of life.

Some day Andy will be out of luck if he actually gets hired, regardless of what he says or does.

When will the government wise up and kick him off the welfare rolls?

Yesterday, I told you all that I would be having a day out in Llandudno and would probably have another pint of cider there. That was what happened. I enjoyed a pint of Strongbow dark fruits cider in a pub called The Town House. I also enjoyed a mint-and-banana ice cream while taking a walk on Llandudno Pier.

My best friend and I considered going up the Great Orme on a tram. The Great Orme is where those goats came from that were filmed walking around the deserted streets of Llandudno during the UK’s first covid lockdown in 2020. We decided against this as there was a very long queue at the tramway. Instead, we had our lunch at a fish and chip restaurant opposite the tramway which is called Fish Tram Chips.

Buy me a pint and I’ll see if I can come up with something.

Andy’s full time job is avoiding work. Oh, look. Opening time. Gotta run. Pint Jack – on my tab – till Chalkie gets here.

rim shot… Take my wife. Please. Thank you. Thank you very much. I’ll be here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waitresses. Drive safe on the way home and God Bless. Dilly! Dilly!

It was a good question.

Andy uses a little psychology…….he hasn’t worked for that reason. Sound better than being lazy!

Andy should investigate the Human Statue vacancy. Maybe the statue will be titled “Man Asleep on Couch.”

If the job vacancy listed outside involved being propped up in a pub somewhere, Andy would grab it in a flash!

He could have kept it simple and said “Nothing”.

I worked at a government facility as a co-op (called intern today). The typical department, they would say, had 10 people, two of which did 80% of the work while the other eight did all the b*tching.

As I pointed out earlier, Andy is a lot smarter than you think.

You’d think after all these years, they’d realize Andy doesn’t want to work.

You have to be in good standing to get the advertised job

Had numerous applicants like that recently: “You can send my check here, I’ll let you know when I get it”

Give up Andy is never going to get a job
