Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for February 25, 2024

Good one Mark — high level math

Fashion has gone to the dogs eh.

What about eternal?

Forever shopping

And next door is the store for mayflies: Forever 3 Hours

Neither is correct save death at those ages.

My DIL was still shopping there at age 26.

Why the “Thanks, Wendy!”?

I was “Never 21.”

Load of bunk. Humans almost never give birth at 7 or 70. Dogs often do at 1 & 10. A dog’s more likely to reach 15 than human’s 105.

never liked the name “forever 21”. sounds like someone died at the age 21, and will forever be 21….

The two stores are clothes together.

For dogs, 2 is closer to 21 than 3

Oh, it’s a cute gag with a good visual. Don’t overthink it.

Forever payments.

We do dog therapy with a small golden retriever. I had been looking at a chart showing dog’s human equivalent age based on their weight, and that dog is overweight enough to be 59 years old in human years. If she lost at least 10 lbs, she would be 49 years old. My dog, at her weight which is on the thin side, is 69 years old. In dog years, the golden is 7, my dog is 13. Size and weight have a lot to do with how “old” dogs are.
