Monty by Jim Meddick for April 26, 2018

I think the reason I love Monty so much is that he seems to be a comic version of me or maybe I am the comic version of Monty???

I keep it in the same drawer with my Pee trap.

Good thing this isn’t set in the ‘20s. He’d have a hard time asking for a flapper.

Aren’t you supposed to use a ballcock shankwasher to clean your golf balls?

“Hey Harvey, where do we have the nipple extractors?”

“Right next to the stud finders!”

Reminds me of the dreaded aisle I have to walk down in the drugstore when my wife asks me to “just pick up a few things for me”.

HARDware store porn. Who knew?

That woman, who works at the hardware store, knows what she is selling and would not be “freaked out” by items like nipple extractors and ballcocks, and she would know how to deal with freaky customers. After all she knows that stuff as part of her job.

I could never repair a Wankel rotary engine. Especially in England.

Back in the early 70’s while on a hunting trip up in Idaho, I had needd to stop in and by some ammo.Went into “Challis drugs” on main st. Challis, Idaho.The white haired sales lady was busy with a lady customer over in the “women’s” dept.She asked if I needed help…I said I wanted some bullets….What kind she asked…“7MM Remington magnum, 150 grain” I said, hoping she could get someone to help me…“Soft point or Core-Lokt?” she asked, hang on a sec and I’ll get what you need….A very pleasant memory…..

Gosh, who knew Monty suffered from the dreaded Plumbing Vocabulary Syndrome?!

As someone once wrote, plumbing terminology is not for the easily embarrassed.

The electrical aisle is only a little better, with its “male” and “female” plugs.
