Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 03, 2013

ROFL! I’ve got a Wild-caught, semi-domesticated. :-)

Free range, but been in the locker so long that I’m starting to lose that fresh look.

Wife market tomorrow?

But they do have a nice selection of “how-to” books.

I kind of did that myself; you know – “Born to be mild”.

Those in the cases and carts are the passive waiting-to-be-caught ones.Not many of those types here.

Second dicount for sure.

Caught wild 32 years ago and now domesticated……well almost.

Low mileage, lightly used classic. Ready for Sunday drives.

Women see men as just a piece of meat. ;-)

From the Deed of Trust for Baxter State Park in Maine …“…said premises shall forever be used for public park and recreational purposes, shall forever be left in the natural wild state, shall forever be kept as a sanctuary for wild beasts and birds…”This has been familiarly known as “forever wild”.Wiley’s Husband Market is missing an aisle.

“If you turned that around you’d never hear the end of it.I am sick to death of male bashing.”

Given that historically (and, in some areas of the world, currently), women have frequently (if not mostly) been considered chattel, without rights and without recourse, I don’t think your objection stands up to close scrutiny. Even in my lifetime, and in that “bastion of equality”, the U.S.A., domestic violence that included battery to housewives has only recently become a matter for the courts. Previously, anything short of serious maiming or death were considered “family matters”, and police generally wouldn’t interfere,leaving women to further abuse after the officers had left the premises. Merely being annoyed that men are held in low esteem is hardly comparable. Solution? Act like you deserve better press.

a task never finished,

wonderful and the comments too

It is only sexist if men do it.

If you turned that around, it wouldn’t be funny.

Hasn’t it always been that way?

It already has been turned around in real life – it’s called mail order brides.

I like the one about comparing them to parking spaces. The good ones are always taken, and what’s left is usually handicapped.

OH Kay, now what does a “wife market” look like?

It’s only going to get worse too.

“I am sick to death of male bashing.”I agree with you, Clark.

Just like buying bras – you can never find the perfect one.

During his sermon, a preacher asked his congregation a rhetorical question “Is anyone here perfect?” He was about to go on, when he noticed a man raising his hand from the last row. The preacher pauses and asks the man to stand. “So you think that you are perfect?” the preacher asked. The man replies, “Oh no!, I’m just standing in proxy for my wife’s first husband…”

Wasn’t this from a Dave Berg Mad Magazine back in the 70’s ?

Open Question; Why does every woman think she must change a man? “I yam what I yam!” Popeye says.

Dowery. Parents do the marketing. Marriage seldom busts up, you can’t afford it. .Of course there’s the black widow problem in the husband buy areas, and the bluebeard in the other market.

A “domesticated husband” is usually one near death, anyway, and already taken by the wife that did the domesticating some 50+ years ago, which at that point, both spouses have opted to serve the life sentence.

ahahah! So true! 5 years later and we’re still working on what the word “laundry basket” means. augh! Probably not getting anywhere cause we’re still stuck on what “I’m not your mother” means.

White males top of the heap? What have you been smoking/ It hasn’t been that way since the 1950’s.

the used grampa store

Husband 1.0

FROM: JaneTO: Tech Support

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed that the new program began making unexpected changes to the accounting software; severely limiting access to wardrobe, flower and jewelry applications that operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installs many other valuable programs . . .

Been in the cooler so long I’m getting freezer burn

Clark, it’s just a joke. Get over it.

“If you turned that around you’d never hear the end of it.I am sick to death of male bashing.”. Oh, c’mon CK, it’s not that bad.How many years of “My wife’s so dumb…” jokes did women have to endure?And seeing the quality of some of the husbands out there, this cartoon is actually pretty tame.That being said, humor is a two-way street, and in fairness Wiley could do this same cartoon with wives and slightly different captions.

Yeah, and I’ve looked for the ‘Logical’ label, to NO avail, in the ‘Wife’ market.

“Good grief. If we can’t laugh at ourselves, and at one another, in good spirit and without malice, then what fun can be left? If we must withhold all ribbing in the name of protecting everyone’s feelings, then we truly are a toothless society. We will reach what I call “the lowest common denominator of butthurt.”-George Takei

The one stop pop shop….

Where’s the “Bad Boy” lane? The one who’ll beat a woman & have her love it “Because he loves me”? Plenty of women are looking for HIM !!!

Awe, man…I’m really sorry I didn’t check in earlier today….This is one of Wiley’s best..And yeses, I’m single…I guess I’m going to wade through all the comments, so I don’t sound like a fool when I make mine. Later calculator…

AshburnStadium, I worked in the blue berry business, on the farms, for ten years…Talk to their wives…They’re all kinda liberal, if you ask me, especially when it comes to the environment.. but they will never admit it…Jus, sayin’

ghostkeeper. Good one. So true….

The comments today were pretty good. We’ve done better, but, hey. I’m just proud to hang around in cyber space with intelligent funny anonymous people like you guys…..

According to my wife, I would be in the aisle marked Totally Awesome. She didn’t really say so, but I know how she thinks.

I remain happily undomesticated.

Free Range? …. Nah. Lets try the Wild. Longer to domestic, but worth every moment. .If only it was so easy. ,,,,,
