@Number Three Today’s strip is funny but predictably it’s a repeat , our Hero Mr Andrew Capp always manages to pull the wool over anyone who tries to stop him from getting back in so that he can get drunk as usual ( and breaking the fourth wall) :o) How was your day today ? ours will be super hectic but I will not go into detail :o{ I must get a doormat like the one in my avatar , maybe it will keep religious fanatics trying to push their views on you , door to door salespersons , poll takers etc take care pal an BCNU in calmer times
A man went into a bar. The bartender said, “Will you have a drink, sir?” The man replied, “Thanks, I believe I will.” He had his drink, but refused to pay for it. A lawyer, observing the subsequent argument, told the bartender, “You offered him a drink, and he accepted, with no discussion of payment. That’s a contract.” The bartender angrily ordered the customer off the premises. Five minutes later, the man came back. “Didn’t I tell you to stay out of here?” the bartender said. “I’ve never been in here before,” the man replied. The bartender shook his head and said, “Well, all I can say is, you must have a double.” “Thanks,” replied the man. “I believe I will.”
My day was very good but busy. I done my volunteering. Screwed up a little though as I phoned the wrong client. I called her back a while later and apologised for the confusion and mix up.
Jehovah’s Witnesses wouldn’t bother me again if I told them I was a blood donor.
We have a WW2 War Department booklet telling G.I.s what to expect and how to behave in Britain, full of little tidbits such as, “You may think a London cab looks funny, but wait till you see one make a U-turn in a medieval street.” I mention it because it includes a glossary (“druggist” = “chemist”, “soccer” = “football”, “on X Street” = “in X Street”, and so on), and one of the entries says that “bouncer” = “chucker-out”. I suppose that in the last seventy-odd years, it must have changed. Or has this strip been edited for Yankee consumption?
Got a Christmas tree yesterday. I figured I’d better not leave it until the last minute. Regarding today’s comic, Grant isn’t just gullible, he’s also thick headed.

Moe Szyzlak didn’t fall for the trick when he saw Homer Simpson’s British gentleman doppelgänger enter his tavern.

How can Andy affordable to go to a club, he is on the dole? Or does he hope one of his mates will join him?

Wow. The bartender’s horrified look is priceless!

Some clubs have a cover charge to enter, so Grant’s concern was maybe tempered by having him pay again.

What would we do without bouncers, police officers etc to keep the riff raff away?
Grant, however, I think he needs to re-train and toughen up.

That Pub looks to be a little higher class than Andy’s usual hangouts.

Toss him out again and tell him he can only come back in with his twin brother.
