Brevity by Dan Thompson for January 29, 2012

A straight one, too…. so it can’t take place in one bathroom.

But their hearts are in the right place.

No. 6 – I just left you a comment over there — nice work!

Thanks, beviek, for letting us know.

and @pschearer, from yesterday…. I am so sorry! Here you go…. I must have dropped it while I was typing:

C.

(I know better, cos I have an “sch” in my own (actual) name.)

I do usually leave off the P on purpose… um…. no, not on “purpose” … cos “urpose” would look funny…... I mean I leave off the P on *pschearer" because I’ve always thought it was P. Schearer, and it just seems less formal.If that’s not OK, either.. sigh… sorry. Meanwhile you are mentioned on Frog Applause.(Was I allowed to tell him, 6?)

(Say….anybody know why I suddenly start getting giant spaces when I use the same line returns and page breaks throughout?)

How is the cafe owner supposed to deal with five jokers who all show up in the same suit.

Oh well, he will just have to play the hand he was dealt, and shuffle off to find a table for six. Apparently their ante is joining them.

Dogsniff…. aawwww

Picto…..eeewwww…

no, no need to pay me back ….. those are complimentary.

Number Six: Grateful for the chance to see your work. Especially liked the coach tour. One of the few times I regret having no drawing ability at all. Thx for the mention and the heads-up yesterday.

SS (if I may call you that): I also have no ability to think of a clever screen name, so my tag is not very well disguised, but I still prefer not to broadcast it in the open. I’d hate to have to change tags and/or avatars at this late stage. But I always look forward to your comments.

Now THAT’S funny! Perfect humor for the card player…

Unlike my college days when I belonged to Delta Bad Hand.

…pleased to meat you. likewise, i am sure…

We value courtesy, even if it is flushed or rushed.@Arch, in college I attended the rushes, but chose not to join one.@#6, U visited you at the Frog, too, and was pleased with your toon. Not to be confused with the Satisfied Frog (a restaurant up in Cave Creek). Are you up to creating one every day, tho’? Back when I did the monthly PTA newsletters, it was hard to come up with new and topical things (but I also had to avoid controversy AND draw on the wax mimeo sheet).

@Susan, I appreviate all the names and everything else (as I type slowly and not well). When some sites have me entering info, it often times out before I can finish.

And they started a group called the Lonely Hearts Club Band. . . . ☻

excellent PICTO ☺Lovely PSusan (as always♥)

The real courtesy flush is when, in a haut monde French restaurant, the maître d’ removes his glove and puts his hand in the bidet and adjusts its temperature to suit your particular aesthetic.

This may take a few minutes – or longer.

The tip involved is sometimes embarrassingly small.

Thanks GoodQuestion!

Pschearer — I…um….. had no idea…but I’m feeling (sniffle) very contrite. Sorry.

OTOH, you are very clever, so please don’t say otherwise…. and I look forward to your comments too.

And …. another sigh…. you may never see this apology anyway cos I keep strange hours on the west coast, so I seem to post either before or after most people.

@#6, I like that you are planning the Sherpa route and sorry that some overenthusiastic friends may have annoyed “sensitive” people here and drawn them to insults.
