Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for August 10, 2023

Who writes the picket signs during a writers’ strike?

They’d forget something else, too, if it wasn’t attached.

Late 60s I was a field service engineer… I arrived at a site in Wembley… Pickets wouldn’t let me in… Early mobile-phone call to my boss… He phoned their HR… Messenger ran down to the pickets… I received personal escort to the computer that printed their wage cheques…

Obviously, “Heeeeere’s your sign” doesn’t apply here.

If they forgot their weapons, how come they’re still alive? Did the other side figure they could take them out later, so take out the ones with weapons, now?

Ok Dirk, but who hired them in the first place?

Soldiers who forgot to bring their weapons to a battle? Just be glad you’re still around to get a pay cut!

Ironically, they were more accurate without their weapons… ☺

The Actors/writers strike has reached 100 days.

Dirk: “But I just gave you a raise. Don’t you remember?”

“You did? OH. Then never mind.”

I can imagine what their recruitment poster say ‘Join the storm troopers, no intelligence required’.
