Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 17, 2024

no fooling the IRS with this, mister.

It is well known that Barry is a blooming idiot.

Just dandy

He’s full of s…er…fertilizer.

The company handbook was never written for situations like this one.

His boss is going to be royally ticked off when he discovers that his two favorite wedges are missing from his golf bag.

Which bathroom does he use?

Good morning Balladeers!

Barry finally snapped under the pressure.

Before leaving he pirouettes around all the cubicles on his tippy-toes.

Barry’s favorite Shakespeare quote: A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Barry’s Boss: “When I get ahold of you, you’ll be pushin’ up daisies!”

Barry: “Please don’t beat the Daisy!”

Chorus: ♪♫ “Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do…” ♪♫

……..And then Barry enters his psychiatrist’s office who waters his daisy!

His wish is to be Barry’d in it, once he’s pushing up daisies.

Barry vows to rid himself of the stage fright which has plagued him since his torpid turn in his third grade’s play.

Only on Ballard St, most places you come in as a daisy and get promoted to middle management.

Looks more like a fruit fly than a Daisy.

Ha! I think Barry would rather work at the plant.

He’ll lose his job if he tries to get the ladies to pollinate his flower.

Just possibly, he was exposed to too much aster-isk. (Botany joke)

Barry’s always been something of a red-hot pistil.

A whole new meaning to Happy Hour at 5:01

His career is flowering nicely.

Who’s got the straight jacket this time? :)

later, barry’ll be pollen an all-nighter…

At one point in his life, Barry was a florist.
