Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 09, 2024

Larry is known for two things, his not so petite ears and his camouflaged pencils.

Leave it to Larry to have a possessed seat belt.

Have you ever felt like your shoulder restraint is out to get you?

Lawrence’s seems be to out to get his ear today.

I’d be suspicious as well – his ‘64 Buick didn’t come with any.

Oops

Ear, ear, ear, what’s all this, then?

I hate it when the shoulder strap does that to me.

Lawrence could use a belt.

Can’t blame Lawrence, those belts can be nasty. On a side observation, has anyone noticed all the shirts lately have the same pattern, must have been a big sale at the local hardware store on mens shirts.

A pair of crossing belts is actually safer and more comfortable but too expensive for car makers.

It’s definitely after you.

Good morning Balladeers!

To do that, he’d need really long arms to pull the strap up so high that it would hook on his ear.

We had a dog that liked to stand on the back seat and rest his chin on the shoulder restraint for the front seat occupants while sniffing out their windows.

Lawrence finally figures out the culprit — the nonstop car radio muzak from Snake 104, all seatbelt-charming music, all the time!

Wait…you mean…I’m not supposed to loop it over my ear??

Your problem, Lawrence, is that you’re trying to use the ear restraints as shoulder restraints.

Life rule #94,764: Never, ever, retrofit a Corvair.

… even if it was your favorite drive-in movie vehicle.

… and even it is a metallic Azure Aqua convertible with white interior and white ragtop.

this is one reason why larry always finds himself strapped for time…

Good night, Ballardears!
