We all indeed know that “Nature abhors a vacuum,” but how did mighty Telamonian Aias [Ajax] get demoted to janitor? Was it because he had a screw loose?
An anthropological expedition discovered a primitive tribe that worshipped a volcanic glass sphere that held a perfect vacuum. The head of the party approached the shaman and asked, “Is Nothing sacred?”

The Greek hero Ajax is the cleanup man? Groannnnn!
And Nature abhors a vacuum? Double groannnn!
(As everyone knows, the better the pun, the louder the groan)
Congratulations, Justin, the puns in this Classic makes me think of Frank & Ernest (which I also love).
By the way, do the Phillips-head screws in Ajax’ helmet have ajax threads or standard threads?

All right, enough already! Is this a convention of paronomasiacs?

Is this aversion something she has Nurtured, or does she come by it Naturally?

This is a double classic, since Justin used the same joke with very different art in 2006.

As long as the mess hasn’t reached Augean stable proportions, I guess Ajax can handle it.

But we all know that the ultimate vacuum is a Dyson vacuum because it has “theproperamountofsuction”.

It just occurred to me…is this the Telamonian or Locrian Ajax?
