Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 08, 2010

True. Never raise the bar too high….

Is Ned related to Wally from Dilbert?

Wally doesn’t have any ideas at all. He devotes all his time avoiding work and avoiding any thinking. Keep it up Ted, thinking never hurt anyone.

………and soon enough he’ll think and advance himself up the ladder til the “Peter Principle” kicks in ——— and he’ll be out the door.

Baby steps, Ted

But chances are good that if you do something badly, you won’t be asked to do it again.

Why try dig up the frozen ground

when there’s a cozy couch around?

The smell of ham turns into cheese

and smells like well-aged sandwiches…

Cleo, is the bone sufficiently aged yet?

Hullo, Cleo family….

And welcome to the Sunday, March 8th, 2020 “Cleo and Company” on Sherpa!

Where “the ham bone’s connected to the stink bone”…

I hate to think what Claude’s socks usually smell like, if they can be confused with a rotten ham bone .

Hmmm … I have to assume it’s rotten… I’m pretty sure Clara doesn’t mean it smelled that way when she gave it to Cleo.

I mean, I haven’t heard any serious criticism of her cooking.

BTW… I hear you, Ted.

I had a good idea once, and you’re right …

Everybody expected more.

But I sure showed them, didn’t I?

Cleo’s upset because the hambone still hadn’t aged enough.

That smell still could be due to Claude’s socks

And you can’t let them expect more of you.

Cleo thought it was Claude’s socks, too. That’s why she didn’t eat it.

You guys… I want to report a theft….

OK, I know I’m supposed to be the acting sheriff….

but I don’t know where to look.

There’s a whole HOUR missing from my computer!

It says it’s an hour later than it says on my watch.

I was wearing the watch, so I guess nobody could get close enough to steal any time….

but they made off with some from the computer…. maybe I shouldn’t have left Windows open.

It’s pretty late anyway…

I guess I may as well go to bed… but first I’m going to see what time it says on the microwave. Did they take some from there, too?

G’night….

Bummer. Cleo must be disappointed. It was just getting to the “roll in it” point.

Good morning Ballardeers, Plods and Miss Susan.

Since we don’t have any doggies, I always use my ham bones for soup or baked beans, MMMMMM! So I don’t think you’d find any bones under our cushions.

Sorry, Cleo.

When my nephew was little he stole an expensive roast from the freezer and hid it behind the rec room couch. Guess how they found it…
