Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 18, 2016

The only thing missing is a cluster of grapes.

Cuts down on tossing and turning in your sleep.

Yes, there were rumours that they were sleeping together, but the wheelbarrow insisted that they were just good friends.

Why a wheelbarrow? Why not, say, a trebuchet or a chair or even a table. If the guards aren’t careful, he could escape and start doing yard work. Get the mulch!

This guy pictured caused a chain reaction to the rest of the prisoners.

They closed their eyes and said good-bye to the rest of the sweet life.

Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!

I’ll answer then at lunchtime.

He was convicted of stealing wheelbarrows.

My favorite part was the circle around “resting.”

From the Picture Encyclopedia published by the Illinois Department of Corrections.

It would have been more helpful if the word “refractory” were defined. We all know what “resting” means. Some of you are probably too stubborn even to look it up. Obstinate, even. Would it be fitting for the NFL to make the wayward Tom Brady play quarterback, chained to a wheelbarrow? Maybe for just one quarter? It would get lots of viewers.

@Happy. I also love your bunny photos that coincide with something in each day’s FA. How did you ever find a bunny with a wheelbarrow? You have a gift, sir. Your daily contributions definitely make Teresa’s page a daily success. I wish I had something special and unique to contribute.

Wait a sec here, whilst I rest….Okay, what’s the point of chaining a convict to a wheeled vehicle in which he might make his escape (e.g., if he has an accomplice to wheel his wheelbarrow through the streets broad and narrow, crying mussels, and cockles, alive, alive-o!)? It’s a legitimate question.

Sorry about the typos.Typing on my phone.

And the rest, as they say, is hysterical.

I’ve been trying to catch up by reading the comments from the last few weeks. My takeaway is that Josh Lyons is a boring party pooper.

If that prisoner ever gets cold, he can light up that wheelbarrow for warmth. Of course, being chained to something on fire has its drawbacks.

Although an objective view of their history showed them to be hauling a load of cockles and mussels that were unreliable and ultimately led to disaster, I felt that since the current load they were selling was such a good deal, that it was unfair to chain them to objective reality rather than trying to live the dream represented in their current offering.They call Alabama the Crimson Tide.Call me Deacon Blue.
