Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 16, 2011
Transcript:
Caulfield: Come on, Mrs. Olsen. Adopt my aunt's parakeet. Mrs. Olsen: Birds are noisy and messy and don't follow directions. Caulfield: That's why I asked you. Frazz: True. Why would she teach 3rd graders if she didn't have a thing for that? Caulfield: Her car is messy and noisy and she can't control that, either.

Caulfield, if Mrs. Olsen doesn’t want a parakeet, see if she’d be willing to take a single keet.

Better and better.

My cat is one of the few things that makes me smile. Perhaps a keet would do that to Mrs. Olsen (and how come we never see her husband?).

When life gives you lemons you make lemonade. When a 3rd grader gives you a parakeet you make Cream of a Parakeet soup.

“Her car is noisy and messy and she can’t control that, either!”
Many meanings there – brings back memories of a volunteer at my old school who learned to drive as a missionary in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) as an adult.
She had two speeds: Stop, and Full Throttle.
Picture dozens of kids scattering in panic any time they saw her car coming.
No, that was NOT a joke.

Nonsense! She keeps it steady at 40 mph! She is in COMPLETE control of her car! ;-)

Wouldn’t a parakeet be two keets?

So there should be an Ortho- and Metakete as well?
