    Apparently, Rat, he does. What else would he do for a living under entertainment?

    Luckily there wasn’t a canary in this coal mine of a strip – knowing this strip’s past it would probably die…

    make sure not to tell Pig that all runners have to reach the “Finish line” and he hears “Finnish line” and takes all runners to the Finland border

    I hope they’re not going to Sea World also. Then he could be arrested for taking miners across state lines for a moray purpose.

    I once wrote a story in which a bunch of people were engaged in digging ore out of a plains region where insects were busy making honey. The guys in the hard hats were bee-flat minors.

    Are they coal miners or metal miners. Either way they either have black lung disease or silicosis and need medical assistance.

    I forget the artist, but this goes back to a ’50’s Playboy ‘toon that showed a few miners in front of a bar/restaurant that showed a sign “No Minors Allowed”.. The leader of the bunch says; "That DOES it, we’re going on strike!"

    D’oh! I should have figured out that pun ahead of time. But all the commenters have put me in a better humor. (Just down a little because they’ve mined all the possibilities.)

    Not as bad as the guy who decided to test his ‘Fountain of Youth’ potion on sea mammals but needed a specific ingredient that could only be found in the abandoned mines of W.Va. He found a guy who could excavate it, but while taking him there, was arrested for….

    Transporting a miner across state lines for immortal porpoises.

    So did you hear that one of those passengers was decorated war hero? He was an Army Captain but got promoted. However, it also turns out that he lied about his age and was only 17. This made him Minor Major Miner.
