It’s hard for a mission to be foolproof when it’s being carried out by fools.

Definitely not foolproof with that fool/dolt.

Foolproof, maybe … but not Zipper-proof!

Hoisted by his own ret– er, mentally challenged partner.

“It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.”

God da*n them all! I was told we’d cruise the seas for American gold We’d fire no guns-shed no tears Now I’m a broken man on a Halifax pier The last of Barrett’s Privateers.

Now, now, Those men wouldn’t be in Washington if they didn’t know what they were doing.

It might be simple, but it sure ain’t gonna be clean!!!

I wonder if that splash of orange/red left of center in panel 3 is Red Rascal? If so, his helmet/turban has come off and his hair is flying free!

And I was naive enough to believe that rescue helicopters included the requisite hoist. Others seem to believe you need to bring your own.

What made me think the hoist was built-in with those choppers?

“A battle plan is only as good as the warriors you send in to do battle…”

In other words…If you want your plan to be foolproof… DON’T USE FOOLS!!!

A fool and his partner – taking orders from Duke. Yeah, this is going to end well…

IN RE the hoist: The chopper may be equipped with one. It is just that Zipper is not real sure what one looks like!

Zipper’s about to learn how to fly.

Randgrithr:

Oh, antelope poop is a sickening sight (How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!) It’s broad and fat and so loose it sprays And to make it took the antelope two whole days!

(Chorus as shown by Randgrithr)

from “Garnet’s Private Beer”

Lets huff a dooby, that should clear our heads for action!

He should use his I-phone 4 to search for a PDF of the chopper manual!

Natasha Fatale: I thought you said this plan was foolproof!

Boris Badenov: Foolproof, yes! Idiotproof, no!

If Duke wants to hear something soon, it’ll no doubt be on Al Jazeera.

vanpelt,

Correct,

Zipper is Zonker’s nephew, who is Duke’s nephew

Most fatal climbing accidents occur on rappel, just like “fast roping” that gets a tad TOO fast. The bungee was just a typical “Darwin Award” move.

Takes a fool to snag a fool.

And now for a flashback moment, in memory of Owsley Stanley and the long strange trip.

The man put out a quality product, FriscoLou.

i wish robert burns could speak english
