They can also give u jello if you have a gun

Thinking of Jello upon the corduroy sea.

But then they pour cream on it….

Someone will ask Spud why he’s channeling Jack Benny.

Two psychiatrists pass one another in the clinic hallway

One says, Hello.

The other thinks, I wonder what he meant by that?

Spud passes the cafeteria lunch lady in the school hallway.

He says, Jello.

She thinks, But what flavor?

Spud: “And I pry open a window in their kitchen when they’re sleeping at night.”

When the Jack Benny radio show was sponsored by Jello (it was called The Jello Program starring Jack Benny ) he’d start by saying “Jello, everyone.” When they sponsored Lucille Ball’s My Favourite Husband she’d do the ads and use the same greeting.

Beautiful sea today.

High seas, big swells up and down.

In Swahili, you’d be greeting people with “Jambo”!

I’m getting seasick just looking at those waves.

it’s worth a try Spud

There’s always room for Jello.

In that case, no, I don’t think so, Spud.

Looks like the Seagulls have to watch where they land with all the garbage in the sea. Unless those objects are meant to be buoys attached to fishing nets?

I loved Jell-O until I discovered how it’s made. Yuck.

I love your name in the waves

Wallace, put your life jacket on! Spud is setting you a good example! We’d hate to lose you to the sea!

One of Penn & Teller’s pranks when on the road, dining in a diner, was to buy Jell-O for a stranger. A good icebreaker to start a conversation.

Why does the yellow buoy look like an eye

I would
