Close to Home by John McPherson for July 21, 2021

I almost convinced my kids that if they didn’t trim their ears and noses that they would eventually look like elephants.

So that’s what explains Obama’s ears.

Actually they stay the same, it’s the rest of your head that shrinks!

Why? All the better to hear (and smell) you with.

(Hmm. I just noticed something “What big teeth you have.”)

What is Bleeb doing?

I was watching a DVD of a TV show from the 1960’s and in the extras they had interviews with some of the actors that were taped in the 2000’s, some forty years later. I don’t know if the nose and ear thing is true for everyone, but in the case of one of the actors I can certainly believe it; he looked like a caricature of his younger self.

True.

You can ear what I’m saying, right? Eye nose you can ear me!

That’s a relief. I just thought my cheeks and eyes were sinking into my skull.

Jimmy durante begs to differ….

Not if you keep your ear to the grindstone and your nose to the ground.

Sadly, your crock stops growing long before that…

I’m beginning to resemble an anteater. Wife says “What do you mean beginning?”

God’s joke on mankind. He’s a very funny God……

How about noses…

Don’t believe everything you hear..or smell.

Don’t get nosy, ya hear!

Not only do your nose and ears get larger as you age, the hair that grows out of them becomes much more abundant.

Hair migrates from your head to you ears,arms and chest.

I think that was supposed to be ear and nose hair.
