Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for November 10, 2020

Oh! No! The Horror! Think of all the Blisters!

(Quietly snickering!)

Welcome to my world.

I use to have the same pain as a kid. Dad would turn off the TV and say I had to help him rake the yard. These days he has a riding lawn mower with a bag that can collect those leaves and I live in an apartment.

I’ve heard that leaves are resistant to magic, Wiz.

PLEASE DO’T USE THAT FOUR LETTER WORD……………..

Lost his wand? I thought he just used his hands.

So where did you leaf it Wiz?

If it’s worth doing, do it well?

Or, “Work smart, not that hard in the yard.”

I love hard work! I could watch it all day long.

When you find your wand, you’re going to have to create some way of never losing it again…

Could have been a hard days night

I must find that wand

The Wizard have fear?! Better to search for his wand because the mondain hard day of work seems boring!

He should have paid better attention in Herbology class.

Technology needs to work on that . . . while science finds a cure for the common cold. . .

Oh, WIz, you need the excercise…and so does your…wife

You mean, your wand doesn’t come when you hold your hand out, like Thor’s hammer?

Isn’t that a lawn broom? Perhaps a quick “Harry Potter” around the lawn will swoop the leaves into a pile.

So he would probably Harry puttering

The best exercise is towing the lawn sweeper behind your John Deere. Bouncing on the tractor seat jiggles the fat around.

Over-dependance on the wand, the Wizards bane.

Horrors. 5 leaves. Oh, the inhumanity

Don’t just wander around looking for it; retrace your steps.

On first scan, I read it as lost my mind, not wand. The joke still kinda works…

Henry probably has it having the time of his life!!!

Got to tell you – my greatest motivation as an undergrad (such as it was) was avoiding a life of building houses with my uncle. In retrospect, it was probably a decent choice as I’ve been better at what I do than I likely would have been at building houses.

Wiz, you really need to work on that fear… :D

Paraphrasing Churchill ‘You have nothing to fear except the rear (yard)!’

A wand is just an aid to let one focus. A few witches and wizards do not require them. They are the ones who taught Dumbledore and McGonagall
