The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for May 16, 2021

“So”.

At least Brutus has the pants on.

“If you can’t hear me, please say so.” What gives Brutus the idea that Mr Johnson could hear him to tell him he can or cannot hear him? :D

If that were to happen to me, it would be my cue to turn the power off, put a blu-ray in my player and watch the latest movie I just bought!!

/SHMIRK/

You can call me Ray or you can call me jay… but you doesn’t have to call me Johnson.

If he cannot hear you tell him to use signs, or write what he wants to say.

Let me know if you don’t receive this email…

“If you get there before I do, make an ‘X’ on the sidewalk with chalk. If I get there before you, I’ll erase it.”

Nobody can ever see or hear me when I video conference.

If he can’t hear you, there’s an outside chance you can’t hear him. You could try reconnecting.

His sincerity is endearing.

Brutus, Mr. Johnson might be old school. Waiting on phone call on his rotary.

either he’s screen is frozen and needs to be thawed somehow or he uh… logged out.

Brutus needs to refresh his brain.

When I nod my head, you hit it.

Can you hear me now?

Now you can’t blame him if it is a true freeze frame, if not blame Mr.Johnson!

Oops. Sorry you lost me. It’s those darn gremlins again…..

HELLO!?!? HELLLO!?!? CAN YOU HEAR ME?

“Oh, well, the problem must be on his end. Otherwise, he’d be able to tell me he’s not getting my signal…”

( ͡ ﹏ʖ ͡  )

Yeah….

“Dear son, I was going to include $5 in this letter, but, I had already sealed the envelope.”

It would appear that Brutus is a tad unclear on concept.

Is Brutus the same guy who, in a different era, would have mailed a letter that said, “Let me know if you don’t get this letter”?

In an episode of I Love Lucy, Lucy got a letter from her mother, via Ethel. Her mother sent it to Ethel because she couldn’t remember Lucy’s address. (She also signed it “Mrs. McGillicuddy.” Lucy explained to Ethel that sometimes, by the end of a letter, her mother forgets who she’s writing to.)

He’s ignoring you

A former boss of my wife once told her, “I don’t know what you don’t know unless you tell me.” What do you do with that?
