Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 15, 2009

Women have ever been the bane of men.

Did the pilot say your were free to move about the cabin? NO! A crash landing with no seat belt on. That’s gotta hurt.

Lars, we have a problem.

Happened to me once - at a critical point I said “just don’t touch anything, while I look for a document” But the computer said “press continue” - so he did, and wiped the whole hard disk. And he was

not female not a child and supposedly computer literate

(and no, he is still alive, last I heard).

Hmm, suddenly wondering if Danae was somehow involved in the forced landing of that damaged Southwest passenger jet yesterday.

Sorry, everyone, didn’t mean to take up 6” of column space - how can I fix it?

@mK; Just leave it! Back away, and don’t – DON’T – touch, especially that! Oh – too late! Har!

@pbarnrob - OK, I walked into that one!

wal-mart.

There are three lines I always fear when working with anything that is complex, delicate and has multiple switches and/or buttons.

1) “Is it supposed to be doing that?”

2) “I think this is the switch* I want.” *also induces fear with the word button.

3) “Oops…”

You just knew that was going to happen. Jeffrey should have handcuffed her before boarding.

My wife always does the opposite of what I tell her. Only till now did I thing it was a trait unique to her.

Jeffery must have built it using PC technology. a MAC would’ve asked “are you sure you want to do that?”

@madKanga, when you said, “and no, he is still alive, last I heard,” you didn’t indicate how long it will be before he heals…

“Nothing can be made foolproof, because fools are so ingenious.”

or

“Whenever something is made foolproof, they invent a better quality fool.”

Of course, it was built using PC technology. If it was built using MAC technology, it would only come in white and cost twice as much

as soon as you say “no” someone will….

I’m reminded of what the old sign says:

Achtung, alles lookenpeepers:

Das machine ist nicht fur gefingerpoken und mitten grabben. Das ist easy schnappen der springenwerk, blowen fusen und poppen corken mit spitzen sparken. Ist nicht fur gewerken by das dumkopfen. Alles rubbernecken sightseeren keepen hands in der pockets, relax und vatch der blinkin lights!.

Yes if only she did vatch der blinkin lights or ask “what’s this button do?” before punching it.

I could just hear Scotty’s voice saying now “I don’t know if she can be repaired” in that thick Scottish accent.

looks like she leaned against the switch accidentally. careless rather than curious.

UH - OH! I think Danae aggravates on Jeffery about pushing the wrong button and they end up at crashing place. LOLs!

I wish this strip would focus less on Danae and more on all the other characters. I am tiring of her.

kac_attack,

You’re one of the few. I think most of us couldn’t wait to continue this story after the 2 week drought.

How could you possibly tire of Danae?

She is my alter ego and explains my evil sense of humor.

And it is true, MAC’s don’t crash hardly ever.

Bmonk, gosh bleeep, I laughed so hard my husband had to pick me up off the floor. Reminds me of that Sid Cesar skit of him putting on a uniform. My grandmother listened so hard to it but couldn’t understand a word – not her dialect???? Thanks for the laugh.

. On MARS 3.5, the twin planet to Earth ; ,,,,, does there exist a twin Danae ??????????????

The ALF’s ( Alien Life Forms ) can substitute their own “Danae 3.5”; for our beloved little Earthgirl. Will Jeffrey notice the old switcheroo ??????????

Can Capt. Eddie defeat this FCW (Fiendishly Clever and Wiley) plot ?????????????????????

Stay tuned for further developments,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

alife 50.7.?? Wattever here, thanks MurphyHerself & bmonk Life is a mistake AND Planned We are ALL right AND wrong :D

certainly Danae is more used to Macs (with her own unique logo on them), but the problem is not in the computer, it is the windows on them. See, even Jeffrey is looking in one!

Danae in stereo? Yikes. I’d pity Jeffrey should that turn out to be true.

I like a challenge…preferably a ‘bane’ one…logic and reason will prevail…(sic) gender all inclusive…

dont get me wrong…all in fun…lots of love…

“Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot- proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.” Rich Cook.

Poor Danae.

Poor Danae? I say leave her on Mars 3.5.

How will they know if they are on the twin planet or back home? They can’t but they can tell a good story anyway.
