Hooked on learning

There he goes, thinning the herd.

Another Darwin award winner.

Those who do  remember the past are doomed to watch as the others pull everything down around them … again!

For creatures that travel in schools, they’re not very smart.

Hmm reminds me of a certain bald headed kid who keeps getting tricked by a raven haired girl to kicking a football only for her to pull away at the last second and knock him flat on his back

How many people know anything about George Santayana apart from that one quote?

A lot of people today are just as smart as that hooked fish was.

He’s been hooked before? How’d he get back into the water?

Take Illinois voters for example…

Thank Cod his lake is catch and release only!!!

The problem with the joke is that the biter fish presumably never bit a hooked worm before since he’s still there, so he didn’t fail to remember the past. In fact, it’s reasonable to assume he bit the worm because in the past it’s always been a good meal. His problem is that he DID remember the past.

I’m hooked on this cartoon
