Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 14, 2019

Now who came up with THAT school supply? (And how much is one gross? Will all four thereof last Lio an entire school year if he uses one each day?)

If the hall passes are gross, will they not examine them closely?

Seems like a big box given the content description. Wonder what else is in there.

Very clever, but I’m pretty sure each school district, if not each individual school, has their own style that they print on-site, so these will clearly be “fakes”.

But it IS a clever joke. :)

Don’t let Staples see this

I was very good at forging both of my parent’s handwriting and signatures.

With Lio, I don’t know if “4 gross” is the number of excuses or whether the excuses that he’s going to use are really gross!

I could have used that a time or two !!! lol

What, no cherry bombs?

Finally a school supply store that has useful items.

Gee! The stores didn’t carry those when I was a school kid! How lucky is Lio?!

I do admit that I forged my mother’s signature on a couple of excuses for my brother to get out of football practice (which he hated and eventually quit). I also changed a college class registration time on a form so that my friend and I could sign up at the same time because we were leaving town later in the day. But I absolutely refused to make a copy of a letterhead from the hospital I worked at or any of the doctors I typed for as requested by a “friend” who wanted to write herself a fake reference for a job application. Some “forgeries” are minor; others are downright fraud. I have to laugh at Lio and how happy he is to have those useful “school supplies”!

what store is lio at?
