Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 26, 2019

Back to being unemployed for the next 11 months

They should be happy. No more kids sitting on their laps.

This is what women picture when they hear about two of them showing up to a party wearing the same outfit.

They look like Wiley Bears in disguise.

At least they will be warm sleeping on the street.

Bloodshot eye contact.

Midnight Cowboy but with Santas?

Should read: “When the main Santa doesn’t them for the next 10 months”.

Santa by five but only two spirit bottles? At least one Santa has an improved chance of not contracting lung cancer (unless he has recently stubbed out or is a non smoker).

“364 nights ’till I get another night alone with the elves.” Mrs. Claus.

How many people look at the person holding the sign up by the roadside?

I wonder what their stories are: some people do wish to live “off the gird,” I imagine most don’t. And also, some of these people are frauds so it’s easy to dismiss them all as frauds.

Must be the smoking zone at the unemployment office.

There’s a very authentic looking “Santa” that works in the Twin Cities area. One year he was spotted strolling around the state fairgrounds (in August) and a camera crew spotted him and interviewed a couple of kids who also recognized him to get their comments. One perfect little gem from a young fan: “Santa likes beer.”

Puts me in mind of the granny gangs of Monty Python.

You might cal them “agents of Santa” except they really aren’t.

What is that, the unemployment line?

They’re definitely showing the sort of Christmas Spirit that I was full of this season. Happy Holidays.

What ARE those fellahs smoking?

Two words “Bad Santa”
