Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for May 28, 2021

True. He shouldn’t be smoking. It ruins the taste of the coffee.

Jason feels nothing, thinks nothing, until after he has had his caffeine and nicotine fixes.

He’d be a lot less casual if those were pointy slats. Not even those classic Ballard Cardboard pants could protect the naughty bits then.

Dennis! Is he…is he wearing the new Bum Cushion? I heard you had them in your store ( Dennis`s Fine Furnishings and Rubberized Goods Emporium. )

Only as long as he’s not straddling the fence.

He’s so indifferent, he’s on the fence about it.

We’ll ask him again after a couple of boards give way and he’s broken his favorite teacup.

He’s indifferent, period.

Desperado, you better come down from there.

Well Jason may be indifferent, but neighbor Bob wishes he would stop hanging over the fence and dropping his ashes on Bob’s Aspidistra…

Jason is good at perching, I’ve even seen him alight on chain-link.

It Depends© on whether or not he’s uncomfortable.

Bet he’d feel differently if it were a picket fence.

His indifference to discomfort will come in handy when advanced COPD makes breathing very uncomfortable!

Good balancing act. He can even cross his legs without falling off.

Jason can reach levels of Zen most of us mere mortals only dream about.

Jason’s impression of a political fence sitter!

Jason is a numb@$$

I’ll bet he chugs his coffee!

Tripling the Depends served more than one purpose.

Indifference could lead to in-da-fence…

that’s a good thing, especially if you watch the news- lots of discomfort there

and the world is his ashtray. :)

That’s a pretty good balancing act there!
