Brevity by Dan Thompson for April 03, 2014

Forgive me for being picky (I know, I know, it’s just a comic.), but those look like tugs, not barges.

where are the icebergs when we need them?

You can’t do anything with grandpa. In the afternoons, he anchors in the harbor and taunts the ferrys. He’s not a jolly boat at all.

Schooner or later, those kids will listen.

His barque is worse than his bite.

Lobsters come in on lobster boats, shrimp come in on shrimp boats…..How do crabs come in? On the Captain’s dingy….

MeGoNow, up in Mackinac, the ferries are all over the straits….

He probably drank a galleon of rum before he pirated a few things off the internet, so of course he was annoyed when the tugs barged in! He can’t walk a straight plank these days……..

We don’t need no stinking barges!

If you think I’m not serious about grounding you, just trieme

Hanging around with the wrong crowd can become a slippery sloop to hull.
