That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 04, 2017

“Also, add a clause that Monday will be an off day if the 4th falls on a Sunday.”

Ben have you seen my model of a navy frigate? I seem to have displaced it.

Congress? They’re obnoxious and disliked. You know that, sir…

“I think we need an amendment just here.”

They had no idea of the kind of twits that are in D.C. these days.

It says, “UPS will make a second attempt tomorrow”. Dang, we needed that shredder today!

Yes, Sire, I am aware that only Royalty may wear purple, but my socks are very pale.

Adams: “Its spelled UNaliable, dammit.”

OK, So 3 corned beef ,light on the mustard, ……

“Tom, how about an “Anti-Moron” clause? You never know, but maybe 240 something years from now, we might need it…"

Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1743 (July 3, 2017) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment; so, I won’t point to it here.

“Sit down, Tom, Sit down Tom, for God’s sake Tom, SIT DOWN!”

“A Republic – IF you can keep it!” – (actual B.Franklin quote…)

You know the founders were all so Christian. especially Ben Franklin (he’s the one that crossed out ‘sacred’ in “We hold these truths to be sacred” and replaced it with “We hold these truths to be self-evident” in the Declaration of Independence)

FYI, most of them referred to themselves as ‘ethical monotheists’. And good old Ben would have fit right in with the information age. He believed in Open Source, he was in media / publishing, he didn’t believe in marriage (he was of the ‘why pay for the cow when you get the milk for free?’ school)
