Rat: My bookie's coming over. Want to place any bets? Pig: I thought your bookie got arrested. Rat: He did. I got a new one... the Johnson' kid. Pig: Isn't he a little young? Bookie: You taking Philly and the points? Rat: A little. Bookie: @#*@... I think I made a poopy.

I am shocked, shocked I am, at that kid’s language! Saying “poopy” on the comic page — the very idea!

The drawback here is that he can’t take odds greater than five to one.

True stories: My son’s first word was sh*t and his first sentence was son b*tch, get out way, mommy wants to go! I can’t imagine where he learned those things.

Now, you can call me bookie, or you can call me bookmaker, or you can call me store, or you can call me turf accountant… but you doesn’t hasta call me Johnson!

1)@SherlockWatson—I’m also shocked…I couldn’t be more shocked if I discovered gambling at Rick’s American Cafe! 2)Then there was the bookie I knew who was found with 5 bullet holes and 7 stab wounds. The coroner labelled it “natural causes”…in the bookie’s business it was!!

@Arianne—There was the turf accountant who was never busted by the cops…he had too much dirt on too many people!!

Whatever happened to words like darn or dang or shoot? This language is going to hell in a handbasket.

That last line makes this.

Time for Johnson’s baby to take a powder.
What a racket! The bookie business is just a subsidiary of the family business, Johnson & Johnson.
After their thugs beat you up for not making good on a bet, they sell you the bandages to patch you up.

Look, if the E-Trade baby can think he’s an adult the Johnson’s kid can be a bookie.

I once heard a toddler in a shopping cart make a “religious exclamation” in the exact tone of voice his father obviously used. His mom didn’t even cringe.
