The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for May 13, 2019

She’s sitting, Sheriff.

She should sue said Sheriff. Say that three times fast.

Alloiteration, hmm?

I’d been reading it as allo-iteration and pondering the Greek and Latin roots, but I suppose it’s really meant to be a portmanteau with “loiter” packed inside “alliteration”?

No sign says she shouldn’t sell seashells… seated seashell selling is not standing….

nor is it something she can see she shouldn’t do.

 

But surely “Sweetcheeks” is something you should know you shouldn’t say…

so you should scram, before…. as Odd says… she sees her way to suing!

Segshells? Oh, seashells. Why didn’t you say so?

She went home and sold rubber baby buggy bumpers until she was scared away by a big black bug!

Sacre Bleu !

Sweetcheeks? What a sleazeball.

Sally had a tough time keeping a straight face with sargent Sylvester became angry.

She’s NOT standing!!! (I do the obvious, so WELL.)

‘Excessive use’ grammar police. Citizen’s arrest! Citizen’s Arrest!!

Piss off and go where that Peter guy is picking his pickled peppers.

She’s really sitting, not standing.

Sally sold sea shell stand, sought satisfaction, sued sheriff.

Maybe she could set up next to Peter Piper and his pickled peppers place?

As the Supreme Court would say “You don’t have standing so shoo.”

I think the cop is diplomatically trying to tell the little girl to get the (bleep!) out of there.

Officer, you need to go where the fig plucker is plucking figs because something unspeakable is going to happen.

WOW…..just, WOW

“Excuses Sally…some similar spot”. Other initials mar the flow.

Unfortunately, Curly, not Shemp, said, “Soilentently,Sir.”

OK, the sign should be a crossed-out “Loitering,” right? Standing is a Britishism, probably introduced because “Loitering” would give away the portmanteau word. However, this way it’s just a little too obscure. IMHO, for those who disagree.

She also sells batteries. You guessed it: C cells.

Ironically, he’s the only one standing there.

Today’s program has been brought to you by the letter ess.
