Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 29, 2017

Was that the United States’ funeral? …….. (crouches down and waits for brickbats),

The “lesson” apparently killed him. Only the others can learn something from it.

Well, now he’s late!

why

The smart person learns from others and is more careful.

My dad was late to his own funeral. The person driving the hearse got lost on the way to the church.

When my uncle was a pall bearer, he would knock on the other side of the coffin, so it would sound like it was coming from the inside…

Nothing I have ever done has killed me yet.

Or, “I told you I was sick!”

Sometimes that is okay. Other times not so.

OK, the Lesson was learned, but it appears it was a little late to be any use.
