That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for February 26, 2020

“I told you we should have never let the proletariat learn how to read and write.”

captain of the bowling team presenting his roster to the league representatives…

Oskar, bringing a petition to the Official Government Office of Civic Procedure, Ministerial level, that they need to bring in more chairs from the other room.

Oskar, presenting his petition that portraits in the delegate hall should be rectangular rather than oval. And it was lost on no one that the petition was on a rectangular piece of paper. Huzzah!

On a personal note: this is the Frankfurt Parliament of 1848- when the"Liberals" failed to democratize Germany, and offered the Crown to the Prussian King -who said he “would not pick it up from the dust”. The building visible through the window is the “Roemer”. In July, 1961, I was married to my first wife – in that building.

That’s right, her will leaves everything to me. Now get off my property!

They quickly acceded to his demands when they saw that the menu prices were higher.

I’ve called you all here because my client, Fraulein Hildegard, has reason to believe that one or all of you is, are, the father of her child.

The menu that Oskar presented/ left the delegates discontented/ the food-(from Korea)/ caused mass diarrhea/ T’was the work of a man demented.

But, since he was there and had the menu, he decided to order several nugget party-trays and a few gallons of lemonade and sweet tea…

And thus, workers started getting Sundays off.

Oskar making yet another petition for a new entry in the approved list to the Ministry of Silly Walks.

“Gentlemen, this letter you sent me advising me what to do with our demands is very informative and I would like to comply. But I must point out that it is quite physically impossible for me to do that to myself.”

Oskar, presenting the Plumber’s guild demands. “And we’re not going to snake out the toilets until you pay us the back wages for the last three emergency calls!”
