Whoever the showrunners are this year need to be fired.
Much to the national dismay, Clarence Thomas, the first baby boomer to serve on the Supreme Court, has officially become the second-longest serving justice in history; in Mexico City, a nightclub has gone viral for charging Americans a nearly $300 cover charge, while citizens from any other country pay just $20 for access, and Mexicans and other Latin Americans pay only $14 ... according to the owner, "This is a response to a year of insults directed at us – as a country – by the United States;" health authorities across four continents are searching for passengers who left a cruise ship before an outbreak of deadly hantavirus was detected on board, and trying to trace potential victims who may have come into contact with them; a startup company in California is testing the concept of “distributed data centers,” which would encourage homeowners to allow placement of miniature data centers on their property that would network with other such centers to replace the gigantic data centers opposed by many communities; and in (where else?) Florida, a surgeon who killed a patient when he accidentally removed the man's liver instead of his spleen says "[it] was an incredibly unfortunate event that I regret deeply."
This week, because we all need some silliness we didn't elect, I thought a collection of cartoons featuring awful puns would be just the thing to take our minds off the state of things.
I wonder if this is actually covered in law school ...
It's not a serious attack - he's just egging them on ...
It's been around longer than we thought ...
You can just hear the rimshot ...
Well, if that don't beat all ...
Horror stories for children?
I guess which one you use depends on how formal the viewing is ...
Uh, oh ...
The mummy's curse ...
And that's it for this week's cartoon collection - hope you enjoyed it. Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for a Poetry Sunday salute to Mother's Day. More thoughts then.
