Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for August 10, 2012

What does D.O.T. stand for in Id?

Dept of Thumping.

Death or Tyrany.

Department of Theft?

Department of Tourism – the Hun is merely a visitor.

Dept. of Transportation (USDOT)? Maybe under PHMSA or RITA? If ID-DOT, why not? ;) Even the “Idiots” couldn’t ignore a parallel bureaucratic opportunity like THAT.

This is the pre-flee that you see… see? :)

Tut, tut.Let’s just follow the lead of Wall Street and the captains of industry in bringing about unfettered capitalism American style.No regulations for business whatsoever. Everybody do as you damn well please.An earthly paradise!

Shouldn’t that be DOH? (Department of Huns.)

It’s the Helmet… If the Hun was riding a Motorcycle he would be required to have a helmet that is approved by the D.O.T [Transportation]

I think I saw that helmet at Disney World

That should distract him long enough to go for the kill. Next time try, “Hey, your shoe is untied.”

War, the police state and bureaucracy often go hand-in-hand. Think about it.

Anyone wearing that helmet wouldn’t last long in a battle. All it takes is an overhand stroke with a sword or axe and the blade engages one of the projections, snaps the wearer’s head violently to the side and presto! – a broken neck and a dead would-be warrior who prized fashion over survival.

This also explains why real Vikings’ helmets didn’t have horns.

Is it OSHA approved?

I saw a helmet just like that in a Clint Eastwood movie..

Some motorcycle gang member was wearing it..
