Rubes by Leigh Rubin for July 23, 2021

The image on the sign is just some old Giza.

Is that a seeing eye jackal?

This one made me chuckle.

I like how (near the end) the video shows various people crossing the street, and a dog and the statue of Liberty Walking like an Egyptian,

Crosswalks serve a beneficial function; one never knows when a camel stampede is about to happen.

Pyramid schemes make me cross.

Slide your feet up the street, bend your back shift your arm then you pull it back

All the old paintings on the tombs

They do the sand dance don’t you know?

If they move too quick (oh whey oh)

They’re falling down like a domino

Foreign types with the hookah pipes say

(Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)

Walk like an Egyptian

he can cross but the dog has to wait his turn, right after the eagle and the giant eye

Crosswalk like an Egyptian

Anubis doesn’t get to cross whenever he wishes?

All the school kids so sick of booksThey like the punk and the metal bandWhen the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)They’re walking like an Egyptian

and then he gets hit by an “early train” because it is a “manic Monday.”

The Bangles song went through my head, of course.

Walk like an Egyptian…

Is that Mr. Bean?

Walk like an Egyptian…

Some Jewish guy just came by and parted the street.

okay… now the Bangles are playing my head

Walk this way?

The Bangles reference. Thumbs up!

Walk Like an Egyptian…

Walk like an Egyptian
