Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 27, 2023

I fear that I am a victim of this awful malady.

Since that guy won’t be needing his shoes anymore, I call dibs on them.

Is that Dr Daniel Druff, the famous dermatologist or his son, Andrew Daniel Druff, the famous shampoo salesman?

…which begs the question…

…how many of these symbiotic parasites do we bring with us up to space?…

…or how many are we bringing up to space?…

…mite we be doing ourselves a disfavor by bring them to space?…

…or are they needed like the drunk uncle that watches our dogs when we go on vacation?…

…aren’t they part of our ecosystem?…

…isn’t isolating ourselves destroying millions of years of mutual evolution?…

…shouldn’t we expect, like, birds or dogs and other critters on the aliens when they finally open the close encounter of the third kind door?…

…asking for a friend…

An itchy etching.

I’ve been called worse by better . . .

Everlasting life that will survive the apocalypse.

As a post mortem, this is a model of succinctness. Succinctity?

Scalp-el …!

Doz bugs will drive you insane! Why, they just ate through his skull, and inhabited his brain. They also found doz bugs in his eye lashes, in his nose and other obscure sites….(((((((( GASP! ))))))))

Where’s Johnson’s Baby Powder when you need it? A little dab’ll do ya!

It can be found @ The Froglandia Bathmat Factory!

I tried to come up with a parasitic dandruff joke but I couldn’t think of anything off the top of my head.

When I was in high school I had seborrheic dermatitis. It’s dandruff on steroids. Your scalp doesn’t shed it and the results are bad for your skin, kind of like bedsores. I had to use this sulfur based stuff when I washed my hair. The scent made me stand out in social situations.

That DanDruff is a real piece of work. His brother Carl Druff is much more congenial.

Para sitic? I hardly knew ‘er. (I don’t know.)

Pyrithione zinc! Stat!

Unless it’s raining cats and dogs, there should be no clinical reason for That Guy to be taking a nap. “Parasitic dandruff” or “walking dandruff” seems pretty much to be confined to canines and felines.

Human dandruff is a whole different bag of worms. Consider this quasi-official study : https://tinyurl.com/6b5vexw

Let us know what you get from that, Lamesters*!

*Lamesters are a particular sub-set of the human species who scurry about as Sister spins their Wheel of Lame, round and round and round….
