Rubes by Leigh Rubin for October 22, 2021

Grand larceny? It was slightly above average at best.

This one’s a Lou Lou.

One time I was 21 years old. One time I was 11 years old.

So that pig was worth over $1000?

Boutros Boutros Ghali Gee!

Do children still learn those nursery rhymes? Or have they gone the way of “Little Black Sambo” and cursive?

Tom Tom got caught because the Pig squealed on him.

Ok, ok! We get it!

Heh heh.

Poetic Justice for what Peter Peter did to his wife?

… He put her in a pumpkin shell

… They put him in a prison cell.

I had to look up “Tom, Tom the Piper’s Son.” Never seen it before. Together with “Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater” it reminded me that nursery rhymes can horrible.

I laughed so hard I’m petered petered out.

Gee, I hope my cousin “John John” doesn’t ever end up there!

Very clever, Leigh! Over in the women’s block, do they have Mary Mary, doing time for gardening without a permit?

What did the Knave of Hearts get? Or Georgie Porgy?

My my.

Nursery crimes

Dumb. Dumb.

Hopefully they get periodic visits from Mary Mary. Or, probably not.
