Mel Allen, longtime announcer for the NY Yankees, was a confirmed bachelor. When sometime would see him at an event with a date they would often say “There comes Mel Allen with the future Miss Jones.”
My father had a barbershop for many years near a hospital and a clinic. Several doctors were his customers. One told him that gently squeezing on each side of the Adam’s apple for about a minute will stop hiccups.
From what I understand Schlitz used to be the #1 beer in the US, or near the top anyway. The old gentleman who owned the company died and his heirs decided to mess with the formula. Unlike the New Coke debacle in the ’80’s when Coke realized their mistake and reversed course and brought back the original, Schlitz never recovered. That’s what I read anyway.
Why all the mugs? Why not just refill the same mug several times? I know, I know…it would take too many panels for a daily strip and would have to be on a Sunday. That would take the “Monday blues” feature out. Just sayin’…
If you keep your comments friendly, even when critical of a comic, and even somewhat humorous, you will have no trouble here. Most of us enjoy a good chuckle. That is why we read the comics. I do not think I have ever had a mean reply on this site.
In the 1950’s they used to put small toy submarines in cereal boxes. The submarines had a small pocket in the bottom in which to put baking soda. This made them dive up and down in the bath tub. We both got one. They were gray as I recall. My younger brother was only two or three. Guess what he swallowed? Guess what mom looked for every time he had a bowel movement? It was retrieved, cleaned up and made many more dives, with a stern warning from my mother and close supervision at bath time.
My wife and I have had separate checking, savings and retirement accounts and credit cards since we were married. Each has the other as secondary on the checking, savings and retirement accounts. We agreed early on as to who pays what every month. We are both thrifty and have never had a problem. I love to read and my wife likes to quilt. If I want to buy a couple of physical or e-books a month and she wants to buy more fabric or quilt patterns, no problem. We do keep an eye on what auto payments come out of the checking and credit cards every month. I once took out an Amazon Prime trial account and cancelled it within 14 days as they stated I could. They kept charging me for two or three months. The credit card company tried to help by keeping reversing the charges, but it was only through a direct chat on the Amazon website that I got the matter straightened out.
Reminds me of the old joke from FDR’s Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression:A man saw nine people on a WPA project. Two were going toward the group. Two were going away from the group. Two were going into the outhouse. Two were pushing mowers. One man was setting in a chair. Curious as to what was going on, the man walked up to the man in the chair and asked what was going on.“Well”, the man said “I have two a’ comin’, two a’ goin’, two a’ sh—-in’, two a’ mowin’ and me supervising.”
