Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for February 17, 2015

Its like farting in a typhoon.

It’s also because there aren’t any to hear.

Whatchu talkin’ bout, Randy B? I saw several pterodactyls in that “Jurassic Park” documentary. Why do you hate zoology, Randy B?

Why can’t you hear ptarmigans go to the bathroom?

Besides, have you ever tried to put a Depends on one?

Well now that my computer monitor is upside down, everything is weird.

We are most fortunate that their distant antecedents, the duck and goose, only void their waste while in the water or on the ground, respectively. It is still messy, but at least it doesn’t slap you on the head.Not that there aren’t people who would not benefit from a good slap on the head. I am certain that there are.I don’t know if the pterodactyl had a combined waste duct like modern birds, or separate means of voiding solids and liquids as do mammals. Fish, bird and reptiles all have a unified waste system, though, so I have to guess that they did. In that case, they wouldn’t actually do that at all. But I’m sure that they would like to.

Ba-dum-ba!

Of course it has nothing to do with the quality of my hearing nor with the thickness of the bathroom door!Do pterodactyls stand, sit, or hover?

It’s another FA Great Moment In History: the great Irish paleontologist, Terry Dactyl, names his first dinosaur species. (Okay, let’s see you come up with a lamer old pun.)

Ah! A boy and his pterodactyl … but then they grow up, both of them.

… and when it poops it sounds like an accident!!!

The P is silent, as in swimming.

That’s pdisgusting!

All these silent "p"s, what are they up to?Are they a psychotic corps of pseudonym bearing consonants bent on spreading a type of ptomaine plague in our ptarmigans, requiring the purchase of receiptless pneumonic devices before their coup is complete?I say thee Nah!Not while I can blow raspberries at their soothing psycho~path of psalms!Pffft! PFFFTTT!

And now, a little something for our friend Happy, Happy, Happy!!! (Click on the Link for a larger version.)

“ranks” right up there with my all-time favorite: “A: Twoth-hurty. Q: What time should you see the dentist?”

Little Andy has fond memories of his first pet and his left index finger..Have you ever had a really bad day and walked outside only to receive a gift from above? All I could do is laugh because it summed up the day perfectly. Pterodactyls indeed!

MIND YOUR P’S AND Q’S

I GO P LIKE A Q

I tried to do something with “gnu” but I am out of practice. Maybe "Why can’t you hear the ‘g’ in ‘wildebeest?’ " or something having to do with an old gnu.

Teresa, this is what happens when you publish a ’toon that is based on a riddle designed for twelve-year-olds. A record number of comments. I know you were looking for “lame”, but we have way outdone your expectations.

An old joke, but it still makes me smile.
