   Disagree. While such devices and methodologies are real and reasonably accurate, tRump’s only device was his fevered imagination, fed by his narcissism.

   For me, there are two additional factors in the TP Conundrum. One, I can’t buy Mega XL rolls; they don’t fit in my spare TP holder. I also can’t buy rolls packaged in 3 dimensions — a single layer package, say, four rolls high and three rolls wide, fits well in my closet. But if the same arrangement is two layers deep, it won’t fit in the space allotted.

   Then there’s also the nausea factor, by which I mean I can’t stomach those commercials with the bears who carry on about how clean their a$$e$ (not to mention their underwear) are.

   Maybe, but I think erasers have more flavor. :)

   Am I right?!?

   Might depend on where you’re from; doesn’t apply around here. I’ve been in ice cream places all my life where you can get sprinkles (or jimmies, as some call them) on a cone. The one concession I’ll make is that it’s usually on soft-serve ice cream, not the kind they have to scoop.

   Not sure how Paige did it, but I suspect that Jason has some kind of scanning/counting device, not unlike devices that can analyze crowd photos from big events and therefore give reliable estimates of crowd size.

   I believe that The Journal of Irreproducible Results once reported that everyone who ate pickles 139 years ago was dead. Their conclusion, therefore, was . . .

   I’ll leave you all to figure it out.

   Hopefully in the next panel he woke up to find it was just a dream; Dick VanDyke did (see episode, It May Look Like a Walnut).

   The choice of vehicle is less the problem than the fact that his partner-in-crime is an idiot.

   Stop me if you’ve heard this one:

   The Lone Ranger and Tonto are scouting an Indian village, and see smoke signals, which Tonto is able to translate: “Kemosabe, the smoke signals say this tribe is getting ready to attack.”

   The Lone Ranger replies, “Attack? We’re in trouble, Tonto.”

   Tonto: “What do you mean we, Paleface?”

   As for the missing cards, I can’t really blame my mother, as I don’t have definitive proof that she disposed of them. (Of course, who else could it have been?) I don’t miss my baseball cards that much, as I was never such an avid collector. What I regret losing is my Batman (1966) and my Planet of the Apes (1967) cards. In 1989 my wife bought me a reprint set of the Batman cards, but for POTA all I have is a book I bought that reprints them all with some interesting background information and history. I like it, but it isn’t quite the same.

    I can relate, Uncle Ted. When my wife and I go browsing in antique stores, we’ve sometimes been nonplussed to find items from our childhoods (kind of gotten used to it by now, but for a while there . . . ).

    Similar to our reactions when we were in our 30s, and Nick at Nite started showing “classic TV” programs that we had watched when we were in high school.
