Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 03, 2018

Where are the Babe Watch girls?

To bridge that moat could be a long drawn affair!

You could argue about it but clearly it’s a moat point.

“No running, no horseplay, and absolutely no peeing in the moat.” Seriously, you need to keep an eye on them or they’ll behave like barbarians.

The cleverness of that tactic is offset by the fact that the drawbridge extends only halfway across the moat.

It’s all a croc(k).

They forgot to mention the moat piranhas on the sign.

I visited some castles and many were small. The whole village would reside in one during attacks. Couldn’t have been much fun.

I dunno – it’s been my experience that pretty all senses of security are false.

Not a real moat unless it has crocs or some kind of water-dwelling monster.

Life guard is a symbol: just relax, enjoy the weather, have fun

That’s more like a bear tactic

Make sure to wear your Crocs :)

Hey! You with the helmet on… out of the pool!

Beware the Wiley Bears with flippers.

I could go political here with mention of a certain Asian leader but since everyone has kept it clean, I will defer.

“Do not Pillage in the Pool”…

FWIW, moats were not to prevent attackers from running up to the wall, but to make tunneling difficult. A besiegers’ tactic was to undermine castle walls with tunnels shored with logs, later burning the wood to make the wall above collapse. Moat water would flood such tunnels, pumps adequate to deal with that not yet invented.

Back of the sign:“Residents beware of the crocagators.”

The lifeguard is strictly to assure the crocodiles’ safety.

Lifeguard on border control to keep ’em out..

Smelly sewer water around the castle.

The Lifeguard is there to keep the Moat Crocodiles from Overeating.

Now I could be wrong, but that drawbridge doesn’t seem long enough to span the moat. Maybe that’s why they need a lifeguard.

Is the lifeguard looking at his iPhone? If he is ,then he is NOT paying attention.
