Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 09, 2018

A mime is a terrible thing not to waste.

Perhaps a blank check?

Is a drunk mime just wasted?

Doesn’t that go against the Geneva Convention?

Just use a French press. (Hint: go look at today’s Scary Gary.)

Can I just mime dropping in a series of coins?

Reminds of the squeegee guys in blighted NY a few decades ago. They could have used this.

Walking through a Mime field IS dangerous…

Sign: “Hammer a Nail In.”

John: “Can I hammer a nail in?”

Yoko (wanting the piece to be clean and pristine for the gallery opening the next day): “No.”

Dunbar: “Let him hammer a nail in. He’s a millionaire, he might buy it.”

Yoko: “OK, you can hammer a nail in for five shillings.”

John: “Well, I’ll give you an imaginary five shillings and hammer an imaginary nail in.”

Maybe the reverse of that theory would work in DC. We stop throwing tax money in the pot and they stop pretending they’re earning it.

Clever marketing scheme.

I have never seen a mime in my travels. Perhaps that’s why I enjoy seeing them perform. TV, movies etc….

Not mine, but “borrowed”:

Q: What’s the first thing you would do if you were invisible for a day?A: I would probably fly to Paris, find a street performing mime, and beat him to death…the applause he would get would be astounding.

Thou shall not suffer a mime to live!

At least those two are thinking outside of the box.

Trivia question of the day: Who had the only spoken word in Mel Brooks’s Silent Movie?

So, I’m the only one that liked the Shields and Yarnell Show?Have never understood the attack on clowns and mimes.

Now, making fun of “Modern” Art, now that I understand. (Insert hoity toity arrogant accent) I took a screwdriver and flung paint at a canvas, my name is such and such (rich kid parents sent to an exclusive art school), pay me $10,000 for it. Talk about a sucker born every minute. Worst, there’s a critic that will stand and describe why it’s great and how the artist captured the mood of the screwdriver with their choices in paint and direction of the splatter. Yeah, OK.

Too close for a Combat Engineer.

LEARN THE WORDS.

I wonder if there’s a genetic defect that causes otherwise sane and responsible men to become mimes or clowns. Or is it simply masochism?

How to get paid for doing literally nothing.

This comic left me speechless.
