Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for January 04, 2019

Success and happy endings depend on placement of the starting and ending points.

(I have not failed until the game is over — I’m just waaaay behind at the moment.)

It’s a LOT easier to gain 30 pounds than to lose 20, or even 10, or even 1.

If you want to lose 20 pounds Wiz, just give them to Andy Capp!

Good idea. Resolve to do what you predict you can.

Is that anything like the “new math” of the 1950s and 1960s, Wiz?

It’s like when the government gives you a tax cut, and you still pay more.

“re”-again….“solution”-the act of solving a problem, question, etc……so resolution is doing the act of solving a problem again…Isn’t that the defiition of insantity?

At least he didn’t resolve to lose 190 lbs!

He must be angling for a job in the White House.

It’s the same math that they use when they buy Lotto Tickets. “I won $10!” “How much did you spend on Tickets?” “$20.” “So, how much did you win?” “$10!” “Really?” “Yeah!” Ummm. No.

Cue Adam Savage.

The same nonsense as new math.

It was used once in a while to prevent education.

Keep working on your joke writing. Not only is this not funny, it’s clumsily written.

“Alternative math.”

That’s what you get when you alter “native math”.
