Brevity by Dan Thompson for July 22, 2022

Dressed for success

How a bottle of salad dressing got into my suit I’ll never know.

His zest can barely be contained.

Hidden valley Marx brother.

I feel certain that ranch was invented for those who don’t understand bleu cheese. I’m not sure I get the Groucho reference, though.

Lettuce consider the meaning of this…

Why Groucho?

Maybe just cos one cartoon convention for “disguise” is plastic Groucho glasses, with eyebrows, a nose and a mustache.

Dis guy’s wearing ’em too.

Ranch? Maybe because “Hidden Valley” is supposed to sound mysterious?

Hey, I don’t know… it beets me.

I don’t get a celery for this, you know…

You think I’m gonna be blue? Cheez… I guess I don’t really carrot all.

The forgotten Marx brother, Rancho

when he came up with this one dan must’ve been hitting the sauce…

And…he’s off for a night at the opera1

Or a day at the races.
