Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for June 24, 2016

Squirrels? I thought cats were the real masters.

“Who are you?”“I’m Prince Barin, the real ruler of Mongo.”“Riiiiight. Okay. Um, I’m due back on the planet Earth.”

It’s good to know we dodged that bullet and were saved by man’s best friend. If he’d been walking a cat we’d all been screwed.

That’s one advantage to being left holding the bag.

Jerry Seinfeld did this same joke years ago:” On my block, a lot of people walk their dogs and I always see them walking along with their little poop bags. This, to me, is the lowest activity in human life. Following a dog with a little scooper. Waiting for him to go so you can walk down the street with it in your bag. If aliens are watching this through telescopes, they’re going to think the dogs are the leaders of the planet. If you see two life forms, one of them’s making a poop, the other one’s carrying it for him, who would you assume is in charge?"

Back in the early ‘70s, I lived in a place with no indoor plumbing. We had the old-fashioned outhouse. We also had much colder climate than where I’m living now, with snow for at least a couple weeks out of the year..If we had to get up to “do our business” in the middle of the night, we had to march outside in the snow to the outhouse..Meanwhile, our cats slept the winter away in front of the nice toasty wood stove that heated the house. If nature called them in the middle of the night, there was a box of sand provided for their convenience, so they never had to to leave the heated structure..And when the box needed emptying, again we had to go outside in the snow to bury whatever had accumulated and then put in fresh sand..Given this state of affairs, there’s little doubt which species would be perceived as in charge of the planet.

Everyone knows the little white lab mice are in charge.

WWMD = What Would Ming Do

Dog saves world. Sounds right

A lot of poopy comes out of D.C. I guess we’re left holding the bag.

Dog gone it! Missed it. Something was refuse.

I knew a guy who would put a litterbox in his toilet in the winter and turn off the water so the pipes wouldn’t freeze.

At least he was smart enough to have a poopy bag instead of letting his dog do it all over someone’s lawn.

The only good squirrel is a dead squirrel!

In light of last night’s Brexit vote, I’d say that the EU is the one left holding the poopy bag !

I don’t break for squirrel’s ….In elementary school, I learned the difference between a plural and a possessive and also the difference between “brake” and “break.”

Ditto on the Jerry Seinfeld rip-off. First thing I noticed. Lame.

Just don’t break you brake or you cannot stop softly.Got that right: Don’t be breakin’ your brakes.

Hey, he comes from the “civilized” world, cut him some slack.I was hoping that the Dunning–Kruger effect is treatable.
