Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 23, 2022

Yep, it’s all about productivity. No employer appreciates your sparkling personality and colourful complexion.

As an option you can not work and not get paid.

You can also work and not get paid.

…you move 16 tons and whatta ya get?…

…‘nother year older and deeper in debt…

…’cuz I’m workin’ for a living…

…workin’…

… they call me the working man…

…I guess that’s what I am…

…I’m proud to be a blue collar man…

…work your fingers to the bone if not he said you lying idiot: trouble…

…take this job and shove it…

…hobo is my game…

…B&O’s my middle name…

…that’s why I m riding the rail…

Unfortunately, that is the philosophy of the maintainance staff where I work.

I fully understand the sentiment.

Granted, nothing comes for free in this world.

We must scrape and scramble to wrest food, shelter and whatever comfort and convenience we can from the rocks and soil.

Even mosses and lichens have to work to gather nutrients and sunlight, putting out roots and foliage.

But we are at the top of the food chain, and command all about us to do our bidding.

Seriously now . . . why don’t I have people to just do all of that for me?

Work your fingers to the bone and what do you get? Bony fingers.

We’re part of the skeleton crew.

Yeah, why can’t everyone spend my life giving me free stuff?

You don’t get laId.

I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round by and round.

Oh ya, collecting royalties too.

Concerning the Welsh fabricator of “bagels”(blog), I quote Frank Zappa: “Suzy Creamcheese, what’s got into you ?”

I’ve heard that some folks actually pay the Bath Mat Factory to work there.

Okay … somebody should print today’s strip out and put it up in the break room. See how long it lasts in there.

All I know is I worked to the age of 78, owned three businesses and for what?

Sometimes it doesn’t pay to work your whole life because it’s not worth it in the end….

BUT!!! The Froglandia Bathmat Factory has a superb pay scale for their valued employees! Yessssserreeee! They offer an above average salary, with full benefits, a retirement plan that out shines others in comparison.

One hour for lunch, two breaks, and 10% off all merchandise in stock!

They hire Senior citizens to greet, and retired accountants for cashiers! The “floor associates” must come from a lame background, and be efficient in customer service….

So if you’re looking for a lame job, apply within, and don’t call us, we’ll call you!

Ideas person….

The pot bud and Budweiser…

Is that a bugle I hear playing Taps in the background …?

Re: Da Blog: Today’s personality is definitely NOT the eel’s eyebrows …! TEETH, maybe ….

What, me worry? I’ve got all mine in ribbit coin. I play the lotto every Friday. The Vegas spread is my best friend and the stock market is stacked in my favor. Be hip to the jive, man.

I initially assumed the “eels eyebrows” referred to something exceptional or out of the ordinary, since eels don’t have eyebrows and to find one that did would be something remarkable, but, after reading the story excerpt, I’m not sure; although, if they were using it in a sarcastic sense, then it would still jive seeing as they don’t seem very thrilled to be at a different club.

Sorry, Mac. This is a NO FREELOADERS Zone!
