Gotta love it! ;)

Pastis! Is that you????

Boy! That’s an old one. I used it in a radio essay back in 1985 and I bet it wasn’t original even then! http://howlandbolton.com/essays/read_misc.php?sid=8 “…That election was marred by, among other things, the opposition’s campaign song “The Old Grey Mayor she ain’t what she used to be”. Oldbold thought that the personal pronoun ‘she’ was just too personal, and, as a slur on his manhood, was quite unwarranted because, in his 92nd year, he had just got married, and was doubly unwarranted because he had just got married because he had had to….”

He always wanted to be a stud but wound up as a mayor.

It is time to retire him; put him out to pasture, rolling in the grass with the young fillies. On second thought keep him in office and away from the fillies.

Pearls Before Swine is two strips over (on my bar, anyway).

Thought it was Pastis, too!

dang – fell for it. ouch.

Did Stephan Pastis write this?

If you only knew the truth about “they ain’t what they’re gonna be” when you go to the poles the first time..Way too often they start as “gray mares” and turn into a complete horse’s behind…

Wince! Painfully bad… in a funny kind of way!

C’mon ed. – you can do better than that!!

San Jose, CA had a Mayor, “Janet Gray Hayes” and nobody nicknamed her Smokey. That validated my decision to leave the state…
