I’ve never understood people getting mad at things they weren’t forced to see, watch, hear or experience. You don’t like my music…then don’t listen. You don’t like my hair or clothes…stop looking at them. You don’t like that movie…then don’t watch it. Seriously. Its a free country (or used to be) so just freakin’ deal with it!
A few years ago in a town near me, neighbors called the cops on a woman who was mowing her lawn, IN A BIKINI! Evidently they thought that was disgusting. Anyway, the cops showed up and couldn’t find the woman. The complainer brought the cops upstairs in her house and had to lean way out a window and peer between some bushes and trees to see the perpetrator. Made the news for a solid week.
Hey, it is ELDERLY Woman Wanda, just like Elderly Man River…..Oh, and there is an Ikea Sale on curtains, now until November 18…Get yours now, and win a free trip to your next door neighbor’s house to see who has the best curtains.
This brings to mind a Mad Comics (25¢ cheap) “Movie Scenes We Would Like to See” entry that makes fun of how the trailers grossly mislead the viewers as to what actually happens in the movie.
Trailer: Sargeant: So, Captain it’s curtains for us. Captain: Yes, Sargeant, better tell the men.
Movie: Sargeant: So, Captain it’s curtains for us. Captain: Yes, Sargeant, better tell the men. Sargeant: Why should we tell the men? Captain: So they can put up the curtains, of course!
Rat: “Hey Pig, what are you doing with that aquarium?”
Pig: “I figured Wanda must be lonely so I bought her some tropical fish as pets. I thought she could put the tank in her bedroom and then she’ll see her pets first thing each morning. I’m heading over to her house now – I can’t wait to see how she reacts to this surprise!”
… Later, at Wanda’s front door ….
Pig: “OK Wanda. You’re gonna be sleeping with da fishes!”

Pig, close the curtains in your house or build a higher fence if you don’t want people to see what’s going on in your house.

Thank God, this strip did not do that old joke about the Porsche. Or, did Pig actually leave the curtains on the car in the driveway?

Scene 2. Wanda at front door. Rat answers.
Wanda: “I’m returning these. It’s a better idea you put them up here so I don’t have to see inside your house.”
Rat: “Whadd’ya mean?”
Wanda: “It’s curtains for YOU, ya dirty rat!”

I’d say that’s an oopsie. It really was curtains for Old Woman Wanda.
Oh, Pig, please call the Coroner to have the body removed, or else the odor will become noticeable (and curtains can’t obscure that)….
