Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for January 03, 2010

Breaks my heart to. They should have drank the booz, and built a ship in the bottle.

Ha! Mishka, I’d drink to that.

Must of been made by the same company that made the Titantic.

I didn’t know the little guy, er Fink, er King, was that strong.

He’s not that strong, “The Kingdom of Id” is just that weak!

I’ll second that, Mishka! The slngle malt, please.

In history it’s recorded that (I think it was Sweden) a huge battle ship was launched, it sailed out into the harbor and keeled over (capsized) and sank.

You learn things when you watch TV.

Well there goes Id’s Navial defence.

That “Smash” must have been harder then it first appeared… The whole looks to be above the waterline but it still sank?

Oh wait maybe a piece of the bottle went through the keel…

The “whole” what?

it took two readings… very good, Bdaysuit.

BDAYSUIT Made me look. Good catch. Now fix the whole in that boat and let it sale away.

That was a very SHORT voyage!

It was nitro-glyceryn. It was supposed to take the fink out too.

Here’s more than you ever wanted to know about the Vasa:

lewreader…whole sale…very punny

Same thing happened to the Mary Rose (Henry VIII’s ship) during her first full-scale battle. The gunports were too close to the waterline and down she went. About 15 years ago she was discovered in the Solent (the channel between Portsmouth, UK and the Isle of Wight) and has been raised and preserved in Portsmouth. It’s worth a visit if you get the chance.

The State of the Ship? Is there more here than meets the “I”?

I am told that back in the Old Country (one of them, anyway), the belief is that when you die, God and St. Peter are waiting for you at the gates of Heaven standing over a barrel of all the alcohol you’ve ever wasted in your life. They dunk you, and if you drown, you go to Hell.

Must be the same engineer who designed the warship Vasa.
