Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 07, 2014

KING: Oh, so it’s all my fault! I’m the jerk, huh! Well, I’ve got man-eating alligators in the moat!QUEEN: Really?KING: Well, maybe a couple of piranha….QUEEN: Uh huh…KING: Okay, so a couple of koi fish! Just get in the castle!

You get what you pay for.

Bridging finance can be difficult.

That’s what happens when you award the contract to the lowest bidder.

Face it, you’ve been emoaticonned. :P

Unfortunately, the serfs who supplied the revenue to build the castle, into which not all of the King is able to fit, are not amused. This only means another round of taxes to iron out the inequities in the current design.

But the contractor followed the queen’s measurements.

In my country, the attitude is that if the consrvatives had been in power when the SydneyHarbour Bridge had been built, it would have had one lane each way, instead or the visionary 3 lane either way, it now has. Because ’that’s all we need’; same with the national broadbanf – noone needs 100 Mb – we’ll make ir 25; that’s good enough!’

I got 99 problems and the bridge is one.

@SizeofaPeaThe Queen is skinny, the bridge is skinny and the door is skinny, ergo the queen’s measurements were followed.

But we had to spend money on those sixteen redundant job training programs!! how else to buy votes?

We can just pass another tax and call it for infrastructure even though we spent all of the infrastructure taxes on other things.

Obviously they been staying at a motel while their abode was being build.

On the other hand, it’s a great choke-point for slaughtering Vikings and other attackers…

A couple of hand rails might make it work. Not sure there is room for them though.

So, which “luxury item” is the moat stocked with?Sturgeon for the caviar?

Um, they used more bricks/stones/mortar building the entryway…

i’m seeing a thread here Wiley – having some work done on your abode perchance?

Looks like they might have to shrink height-wise as well, if they don’t want to stoop.

We will never know.

A door is a luxury item? The queen has it too good to think like that.

An added benefit would be that the narrow bridge and door keeps the ‘religious witnesses’ from ganging up on the owner… they only can approach one at a time.
