Don’t give them ideas, Horace!

That escalated quickly.

Old Peanuts gag. But not too many of you will have seen it.

Celine Dion walks into a bar. Bartender says, “Hey honey, why the long face?”

Well the old sticks and stones trick is always work.

You asked for it, Horace…

not the getting stoned Horace expected… he won’t be sticking around much longer…!

Dang, whoever that guy is, Horace, he’s clearly got it in for you.

They can’t throw dictionaries at him any more.

And that’s how World War 4 will start according to Einstein.

Just don’t be acting silly around Kristi Noem, she don’t use sticks or stones.

Horace objects to these objects.

… words will never hurt!

… until they throw the dictionary at you!

Boy, that escalated quickly. Those opening remarks were so mild I’d hardly call them insults.

Got any broken bones now, Horace?

Gilligan’s Island Dr Jekyll: “sticks and stones may break my bones so please don’t throw sticks and stone, please, please don’t throw sticks and stones”
