Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for January 18, 2013

I get the punch line but I don’t get the setup.

Chas – I’m with you – - – ??? Maybe Horace thinks it through, realizes all the ears are gone and there’s no point in going on.

Kleptomaniac— psychobabble for compulsive thief

But … but … only the light was shiny …

Unfortunately Horace couldn’t leave the lecture hall. Someone stole the doorknob.

Here’s what I see gets stolen, in order: briefcase, speech, microphone, curtains, podium, spotlight.

Those kleptos really stole the show!

^LOL

You’re dead meat if you need the entire speech in front of you. A 3X5 with key words is plenty. Seen hundreds of paper shufflers lose their place with the aid of Klep Annon.

…with the aid of Klep Annon Horace lost his train of thought before he hit the first comma. Lucky audience.

… briefcase, speech, microphone, curtains, podium, spotlight.., Horace’s thoughts.

Kleptos stole his notes!

Am I the only one missing the point about Romanians and someone being offensive?

I don’t know about that, but first someone stole his briefcase, then his speech, then the microphone, and lastly the podium.

Now THAT’S a funny comment.

Hey everyone! Just for the record, you stand on a podium, but you stand *behind** a lectern. Horace’s notes get stolen from the lectern, please. It’s a far-too-common mistake, and you may think it’s a little one, but try putting YOUR notes on the podium and reading them while they’re at your feet.

No, comments don’t have to be humorous; maybe Prof danglais was over-reacting to something that was apparently changed before I saw the comic (they were late updating yesterday), but he has the right to tell us when he’s insulted, just as you do.

Multumesc, Samson (that’s Romanian for “Many thanks”)

I guess he was left in the dark.
