The Buckets by Greg Cravens for December 24, 2023

From NOT ALWAYS RIGHT: Too Much Free Time?! Oh, The Humanity!

One particular year, Christmas, Boxing Day, and the public holidays fell in a way that gave us a five-day weekend. Unfortunately for me, I worked retail, so I had no days off.

One customer entered the store and I greeted him.

Customer: “We have too many public holidays. I don’t know what to do with myself with all these days off in a row! I’m so over it.”

Me: “It must be nice to have time off over Christmas.”

That stopped him in his tracks, and I could see the cogs turning before he realised what he’d said. He actually apologized!

This kid has altogether too much self-awareness.

Mom could always apply the board of education to the seat of his knowledge if he continues to scare her.

I’d like to think I’d appreciate the joy and enthusiasm but I’d get on his butt about how unsafe some of his hiding places are. Good think this is just a comic.

This one made me truly laugh out loud, alone in the room. Well done.

ROFL!

Honesty is the best Christmas policy!

He’s everywhere, he’s everywhere.

So…lemme see if I got this right…the point he’s trying to get across is that…Christmas is here??
