Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 18, 2009

And where are the trial lawyers? And the Big 3 auto makers? I predict a lot of “front end damage” with “speed bumps” like those.

Great idea for members of Congress!

Solution–they should be used as an external airbag, aka “repelling emboliser”!

(also true of lawyers, a broad category which includes most Congress members)

Now all he needs is a top hat and handlebar mustache…

Biblical correction: Money-CHANGERS, not -LENDERS, were chased out of the Temple. Money-changing was vital in Jerusalem, a center of commerce for many different nations with many different coins. Advertising at the city gates should have said “Use Honest Abe’s scales - LXXV paces below the Temple entrance!”

It’ll really cause a traffic jam because everyone will want to back up and try it again.

Postmodernism is silly all on its own. Putting it into practice as a banker, though, is really scary when you think about it…

Don’t these people have any respect for cars now-a-days?

i know, i know, i know… it’s a speed trap!

Careful, you could get a ticket for parking in the middle of the street on top of the speed bump. :D

Ahem, whatevahh!

Yes, but would you say that some tickets are worth it?

Rather than speed bumps, I believe we should use them to fill potholes. And if we don’t have enough potholes, we can make some.

@wndrwrthg, you don’t have to worry in the least! After this winter, we have a nearly infinite supply of potholes to fill on the Northern Tundra. :-)

Of course, some of the potholes might be small enough to be rather cramped for the occupants – but that shouldn’t be a problem for too long.

bmonk: Love the new avatar. Is it an Escher drawing?

@margueritem, yes, his “Drawing Hands”, I believe. I just felt rather paradoxical today.

Hope you’re feeling better (after seeing your comments at C&H)

genius; as usual

Can we do this with our politicians too?
