To which Curls responds, "March Madness."
Speaking of March Madness, here in the U.S. we had our own March Madness with primary elections. Anyone who has read my personal blog, It's Not All Gravy, knows that I have strong opinions about how the political system has disintegrated. That's why this recent strip from Shoe by Jeff MacNelly struck my funny bone.
Shoe and Cosmo are at a briefing where a press spokesman says, "As you know, Sen. Belfry has been working very hard this year. He really needed to get away for a few days to recharge his batteries."
Shoe asks, "Where did he go?"
"It's a Caribbean resort just for politicians."
Cosmo says, "Oh. Scandals."

Then he pauses and looks toward a clerk heading to the back, "Mike, can you take these boys to our liters?"
I know, I know, that was a real groaner, so we will end with a few neat quotes:
“I find television very educational. Every time someone switches it on I go into another room and read a good book.” ~ Groucho Marx
“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.” ― Madeleine L'Engle
“A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.” ― Maya Angelou

ReplyDeleteHappy to give permission. :-)
DeleteA fun blog post to start off a rather dismal day here in SC.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Thanks, Maryann! Luckily,my little corner of the North American continent hasn't had the winter that blasted everywhere else. We've had a few days of cold (for us), but nothing like we've seen elsewhere on the news. Do we feel smug? Little bit. But then, this is the corner that counts blossoms in February and makes sure 'back east' (as we call it) knows the number.
ReplyDeleteMost of us are quite mad by March. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. I know I am.
DeleteWe writers to need to renew and recharge often to keep the creative juices flowing! Thanks for this, Maryann!
ReplyDeleteLove that you highlighted the whimsies of March, Maryann, especially the humor it provides that's unequaled throughout the rest of the year. :-)
ReplyDeleteI tend to take life too seriously. So thanks for this bit of fun and whimsy!
ReplyDeleteLaughter is such a good release of the tensions that build from work and personal stress. I've heard laughter is the other side of tears, and it is almost as good as a primal scream to just get junk out. :-)
