Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for August 19, 2024

He could use a Shakespearian speaking style to sound intelligent in the courtroom.

“I’m your turtle.” LOL

Which is further away; the birth of Shakespeare or the final payment of his college loan using money he made utilizing his degree?

It all makes sense now.

Sherman, why not just tell Fillmore what’s going on? I’m sure that he’d be glad to help.

“Just like dear old Dad”?

Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it!

That should nail him a management position with Victoria’s Secret.

I think that Elizabethans didn’t wear “undergarments”, as we think of them. They went commando under all their elaborate clothes, especially the females.

So he’s into old ladies knickers?

Fillmore, we didn’t know you had it in you!

I was going to say “you can’t spell ‘tortoise’ without ‘eros’” but wrong zoological family. And the correct term, Cheloniidae, doesn’t work either. Dad joke collapse into non-event horizon imminent.

LOL

Just the other day I had a question about that subject.

That’s a superfluous degree if I’ve ever heard of one. The kind of class one would take if one was a ‘professional’ student, someone who’s paid as long as he’s in school.

Fillmore’s a perv?

I’m sure that topic makes for scintillating conversation.

While I have no doubt that there is such a Masters program somewhere, it does make one wonder where to find renderings or samples of such garments from 400 years ago. :)
