Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for May 22, 2010

And there’s no waiting in line either.

Life was tougher back then.

That ought to make you a couple inches taller.

Just keep hanging around, the King will get back to you.

I ment to say… I am complaning about people complaining.

This reminds me of an old Wiz of Id comic. It’s “Vent your spleen” day at the castle and so one of the peasants comes to the king and rants all his complaints and problems then asks what the king is gonna do to fix it. When done, the king looks to the guard and says “Vent his spleen.”

I’m surprised the complaint department isn’t a little busier.

One learns to keep ones thoughts to themselves in Id, doesn’t one?

I had a hand granade with a number one on the pin. The sign read “Complaints, take a number.”

The rain in Id falls mainly on the complain.

My Fair Fink

… You were saying?

Can I lodge a complaint about the Complaint Department?

I need to stay out of Id.

Reminds me of a Myron Cohen joke from the 60s. He told the story of Khruschev giving a speech in Red Square and saying how great Russia was, and every one should have the modern conveniences like refrigerators and stoves. He then said anyone without these things should let him know and they would be provided and then opened the floor for complaints. A man stepped forward and Khruschev asked who he was and what he wanted. he said his name was Levine and he didn’t have these things. Khruschev said don’t worry we’ll take care of things. A few weeks later the same speech at the same location. Another man came forward. Khruschev said to the man what’s your name. He said Schwartz. The Premier then asked what his question was. The man said he wanted to know what had happened to Levine.

The Fink has a low threshold for dissent.

1 step forward, 40 steps downward…
