Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 22, 2016

And the moat was a precursor to the water slide.

I haven’t heard of King Larry. That must have been before the invention of Life Guards, too.

King Larry? He must have been one of the Three Kings of Orient Are, along with King Moe and King Curly.

I hope there are no allegaters in that moat. Could lead to serious allegations.

that wasn’t Larry King, was it?

“It’s good to be King!”

In reality, the last thing you would want to do is take a swim in a castle’s moat. The moat was made much more formable for defense by also being the castle’s cesspool. Immersing yourself in the moat may not actually be the “last thing” you do, but it would likely be close to it.

Belly-flops hurt more than the cannonball.

Not to sure of this but weren’t most moats where the sewage runoff from the castle went? I suspect most moats kept invaders away because they were just nasty.

Larry was king until the Drawbridge Construction Union fired him.

Followed immediately with canon law.

Actually it wasn’t a “cannonball”, it was a “catapultball”!!

King Larry was married to Queen Latifah !

He only did it once, but the alligators gave him a standing ovation.

I don’t think we’ll ever have another king named Larry. Nor do I think we’ll ever have another president named Grover.

Today(7/22/2016) BBC reports of 11 year old succumbing to “tombstoning” in Northern England. Tombstoning for those unsure is jumping or diving into waters from heights in water on unknown depths. Results tragic.

Everyone loved Larry.

Alabama_AlIf they were, the moat would fill up within a decade from eutrifacation – like Florida beaches. Most moated castles used dry toilets built into the walls, which could be cleaned out from the bottom to provide composted fertilizer for the crops.

My favorite dive was the “can opener”. It shot the water much higher in the air than a common cannon ball….automatic style points too……..

lol

…and Burger King…(chuckle)…

Isn’t King Larry that suspender-wearing dude who used to have his own talk show on cable TV?

King Larry: Dead of premature belly-flop at age 35.
