Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for March 22, 2022

as the phrase goes, “cannot teach old dogs new tricks”

Tradition!

Ya need younger members on the team with fresh ideas!

How do you play “marbles” wrong?

And Good Ol’ Charlie Brown sums up the reason people continue following stupid traditions. As for me, my take when someone insists I follow along a tradition I don’t like is commenting, “Hey, it used to be traditional to sacrifice the first born; you’re the first born, right?” Oddly enough, nobody seems to be swayed by that argument. Oh, well. I’ll just keep on doing it that way. ;)

I used to live in a county that was a little, errrr, backward. I always thought they should’ve replaced the slogan on the county seal with the Latin phrase, “Semper Feci Sic” (loosely translated: “We’ve Always Done It That Way”).

Pretty much describes the older generations

Nothing wrong with house rules when you’re playing with your friends.

That also sums up Politics, and most failing Businesses.

Probably the worst reason in all creation to do anything.

In my youth, every family had a Monopoly set with some pieces missing—and one of the first things to go missing was always the rules sheet.

“You stay in Jail forever unless you pay or throw doubles?”

“Penalties from Chance and Community Chest get piled in the center of the board and collected by the next person to land on Free Parking?”

“You collect double if you land on Go instead of just passing it?”

Famous last words of many organizations.

The final panel sounds like our motto at my workplace.

He sounds like an Elder in a Brethren assembly
