One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for July 08, 2022

I thought Jethro said “ought.” Been a long time….

Been watching the old sitcom channel Joe?

Did you know that Max Baer Jr. was on drugs the whole time he was playing Jethro?

I thought zeros were “oughts.” My friend has rifles and he calls one of them his thirty-ought-six. There was also a brain teaser in a game I had which I didn’t get the first time. The question was what saying is represented by 100204180. The answer is “I ought not to owe, for I ate nothing.”

Reading this strip is giving me the urge to order some later on!

It’s giving me the urge to get in the cement pond to escape the heat.

I used to love it when Jethro showed off his guzintas. (3 guzinta 12 four times …)

Dough Nut. Think of a nut and a bolt. It is a dough nut.

I call BS. Even ten years ago or whenever this was new, there’s no way Joe has seen The Beverly Hillbillies!

Double nought zero when he put on that steel hat.

And a generation born after 1993 just said, “Who?” (Not to mention the ones who missed out on 1962-1971.)

They’re called doughnuts because originally, they had nuts (walnut I think) in the middle of the dough. However, some say it was “dough knots” because of the shape. I believe it’s the former but I don’t know for certain; I’m old but not that old.

I would have to be thwacked too!
