Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for July 09, 2018

How do you. Know he is a dud no girl tried to light his fuse yet

The Dud Abides.

Yeah, Dad, I know… “You’ll live longer”. But what kind of life is this?! When I go out, I want to go out with a BANG!!

Dad I don’t want to go put with a bang, I want to get banged!

But, apparently, they’re not shooting blanks in that “long line”.

I suspect mom and dad have a temper problem with such short fuses.

Milk Dud?

Way back in my trade school days, a group of us were throwing firecrackers and I found one that had no fuse. After a bit of time I slipped it in my pocket and when we arrived in the morning lecture hall I slipped that same firecracker between the bulb and reflector of the overhead projector, man, that popped before the switch fully reached the on position. No damage except for the instructor who stood dumbstruck for about five minutes before dismissing class for the day.

If he wants to change he’d better get cracking.

Poor fatherless lad. Got no pop.

Lighting up and smoking will kill you kid

At least he won’t be such a hot head.

Oh, fizzle sticks!

Just add an e and make him a dude.

So the other firecracker was right when he said “My pop’s bigger than your pop…”
