Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 18, 2020

Lionel is about to let out a very dramatic cry of pain.

And by file drawers.

3 broken toes…SCREAM

Lionel is also in shock. How could this stalwart 4-drawer file cabinet suddenly become an enemy? He had always treated it with great respect!

Your fault, Lionel. You shouldn’t have asked for it ASAP!

It was met with a cabinet meeting.

To top it off, it was the file of lost work accidents and their means of prevention.

A file cabinet. How quaint.

I swear I don’t love the drama – it loves me.

Does this signal discontent among the rank and file?

Freezer. Been there, done that. Ouch.

ow

On the bright side, his scraped shins kept all of the files in the drawer. Now… if he can just avoid the impulsive Dance of Pain…

Next time get the top 2 drawers extended all the way out so the entire cabinet falls forward. (I have done this. I caught it before it hit the ground.)

…ouch…

Ouchie ouchie ouche

Life is full of Drama no matter how much we try to avoid it.

S**t happens.

Lionel has gone to his happy place. He realizes however, that he won’t be allowed to stay there very long… (ͼ_ͽ)

And.. in an instant, that quiet is shattered… All the dogs on Ballard St will howl and folk will wonder if the end is near.

So much for a quiet life!

Ouch!
