Cartoon Saturday

Ah, what a week it's been ...

In Tennessee*, an ass clown with a minimum wage job who has fathered 30 children with 11 women has asked the court to give him relief from paying child support (one of his clueless hens already gets the staggering sum of $1.49/month); a woman in Georgia is slowly losing parts of her body to rare, flesh-eating bacteria; an unnamed buyer has laid out the highest price ever paid for a New York apartment - more than $90 million for a penthouse in midtown Manhattan; more details are emerging about what actually transpired the night Trayvon Martin was shot by neighborhood security vigilante George Zimmerman; and in Thailand, a British citizen has been arrested after six roasted fetuses covered with gold, intended for use in black magic rituals; were found in a Bangkok hotel room.

We'd better open up a big can of Cartoon Saturday right away, because I think you're going to need it.

We lead off with the semi-traditional terrible pun cartoons ...

And ...

An object lesson in reading the fine print ...

Three cartoons which highlight the down side of modern technologies ...

And ...

 And ...

Nowadays we tend to go to great lengths to ensure that no one has to put up with a "hostile work environment" ...

What happens when budgets are ruthlessly cut in the wrong places ...

And finally for this week, I found two more great cartoons based on symbols. The first one is not quite as funny at my age, but heck ...

And what do Greek shepherds eat? ...

It looks like it's going to be a beautiful weekend, weather-wise ... which is good, because today is Agnes's 25^th birthday**, and it's nice to have some decent weather to help celebrate. A fine dinner is planned.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow.
