Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 07, 2021

Up here everything is still green. Not normal.

But do you know?

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum

And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them

No, no, no

Don’t it always seem to go

That you don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone

They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

That looks a little small to be a shade tree.

I prefer the one where the guy playing the bagpipes will stop for $5 per minute of silence.

Beats a lemonade stand.

Presumably, the smartness is blinding!

See my silly business fail….$2.

I guess they’re looking for someone with blind faith in a shady operation.

… or look around the blinds and see them for free.

Well, well, I found a discount by crossing the street.

You have to feed the parking meters if you want to do that.

Fun fact for the day: Still “Les Persienes” in France, for what traders from Venice introduced from the East around 1760.

The blind leading the blind.

I’m loving the old school cash register, no pay by phone for this kid. Cash only.

I don’t know whether to give this a “like” or not. . .it’s too true to be funny. . .

Petty Thief Barnum would be proud. I wonder if anyone is thinking of a way to put in toll booths to charge the leaf peepers in the North East. Maybe just check points manned by National Guard or Forest Rangers. It seems like that is the way we are going.

The colour is bright but there is still more green here. Late this year…

Kid has found a niche market. Popular, short supply, short term. Perfect,

In the future he’ll have a snow museum. Just show us the inside of your refrigerator

Neighbor child came in to ask for some plastic bags, gave her a few sandwich bags. Found her later filling them with gravel, she said she was going to sell them for $5 each at their yard sale. She looked disappointed for a second when I told her that no one would pay $5 for a bag of gravel. Then she said “OK, $2.50 !”

Maybe director of marketing, but we won’t know how good he is at sales until we see how much moola his little scam pulls in. (“This way to the egress”, anyone?)

Similar to the toughs who are first to a Banksy, cover it up and charge for a picture.

And when he opens the blinds a second time, there’ll be a carrot. A carrot to lead them around…

Three-card Monte is out.Foliage scams are in.

Clever kid

For another buck, you can stand next to him and take a selfie.

A right little entrepreneur (pronounced ‘on-trep-ren-err’).

He may be too Independent to stay long.

As soon as he learns all he can about the biz, he’ll leave and start his own company.
