Mother Goose and Grimm by Mike Peters for November 28, 2024

Groan, but a good one…

Next in line: Barbie with a barbed wire…

Why did the chicken send a wire? It was too chicken to cross the road.

And if the chicken had a Red Bull , he would have been wired.

There are many younger readers who probably don’t get the joke.

Because he feels lucky that he isn’t a turkey.

That joke’s offensive.

Looks more like a ‘She’ than a rooster.

And the wire says “Eat more turkey!”

Western Union: The fastest way to send money or chickens worldwide.

“Is that another chicken joke?” JoAnn Worley. (If you don’t get it, look it up in your Funk and Wagnell’s!)

For many years it was how I sent money overseas, the one I use now only charges $1.99 – One Dollar and 99 cents. WU charges $10 or more to send money.

Well what other kind could he send?

And she’s too chicken to send it?

Is that why the chicken crossed the street?

Too chicken to deliver the message face-to-face?
