That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 12, 2020

“No, I’m not going to water your flowers. They’re already dead.”

When I said you should throw a penny in the well,

I didn’t mean my sister!

“As my servant, I demand you retrieve that coin I tossed in there.”

Well said, Mr. Melcher !

“We’ve got to stop meeting like this ! My wife is getting suspicious !”

roses are red, violets are blue, if you jump in the well, i’ll shout woo hoo!

What’s a “well soon”? Are they hard to house train? What do they eat?

“I’m Belle. It’s your well? Do tell. Mel? He fell. And you can have 25% of the estate if you back me up on that story. Well? Swell.”

Great. Now I’ve got Ode to Billy Joe playing in my head.

“Excuse me is this water fresh?”

“No it’s been here for years.”

Melcher’s comment today is Priceless. IMO

Brilliant! I will admit I’m only 1 sip into my coffee but I had to turn to the lovely commenters to understand it.

The well must be overflowing with coins by now.

Water you doing here?

Special Covid-19 pricing on wells, only $9999.95, sorry no monthly payments as we are not expecting you to last too long during this epidemic.

Cistern sisters always mean well.

Looks like those college boys stole the “Old Oaken Bucket” again, where do you suppose it is, West Lafayette or Bloomington?"

Pardon me, but could you haul up the water bucket for me, missy? I am a dainty flower, and you servant types are so much better at it, with your brawny arms.

Quick, help me. Our dog Lassie fell into the well!

Are you alright? You look pail.

" Are you sure our stash is safe down there? "

Wishin’ and hopin’….

LADY: “This water tastes coppery and, I’m not sure, moldy paper?”

COMMON GIRL: “That’d be the pennies and the IOU’s miss. Try the one in the gated community if you want a tarnished silver flavor.”

“Have you seen Timmy? Lassie said he was around here somewhere…”

Economic Recovery card?

“This would be a good place to hide the bodies, but we need to come up with a story to explain the tainted water.”

“Who,me ? I’m the well’s fargo.”

Everybody sing! “Cisterns Are Doin’ It For Themselves.”

“Can you bring up the bucket?”

“Frayed knot, take a look at the pully”

And, on a more serious note, “ for the Colonel’s lady and Rosie O’Grady are sisters under the skin!”- Kipling

“Go ahead, ask me about my third husband.”

Please don’t haul him out. I threw him in there for a very good reason.

“Why, no, this is NOT the loo. Thank you for asking.”

I could find no online info on this artist, other than what’s perhaps pointed to by the title URL. First work by him used here.

The next thing you know, the Naked Truth will be coming out of her well.

Bucket go well everyday, one day di bottom ago drop out.
