That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for July 21, 2020

“Please reach in and pull me out of here – the painting and the situation.”

Henri did not have the heart to tell Agnes that the only reason he married her was to get close to her mother.

“And that’s when I told your father he was adopted by owls and, I slept with the whole town, and…”

To the audience: “If Phoebe were awake, this is the part of the play where she would say, ‘That’s so exciting!’ Phoebe’s understudy is in for a promotion.”

This is a drag! I wish Godot would get here already!

listening to an NPR segment and, as jon stewart says, literally wanting to weep from boredom…

I would like to take a moment to speak to you about constipation. After listening to this gentleman regale us with stories of his wealth and accomplishments I have come to the conclusion that he is full of $&#!.

Just as we’re trying to figure out why the Kardashians are famous, they’re trying to figure out Toulouse-Lautrec.

“Springtime in Paris…My @ss! This guy sitting next to me hasn’t taken a bath since last October and she’s so drugged on Anisette and Woodruff she had “Go” with Toulouse-Lautrec last night! I’ve got to find better friends to talk to…Maybe Van Gogh will lend me an ear?"

“I just know it. He’s going to tell that stupid joke again.”

“No that’s not Johnny Deep, more like Johnny Duhp.”

See, a “still life” painting can have people in it.

They look like they’re catatonics/ or users of powerful “tonics”/ but you are misled/ they do NOT share a bed/.. they’re all merely hooked on phonics.

Guy: Listen Thelma, I don’t think the cellophane on the face look is going to make it.

Alimony Times Two!

The joys of living in the French countryside. Absolutely. Nothing. To do.

“Mother said there’d be days like this……

Polly doesn’t look that amorous.

“You talkin’ to me?”

Double your pleasure, double your fun…

Marlena was shocked that Henry suggested a 3 some.

Another Rose Garden Speach!

“It’s your turn tonight.” “No, it’s YOUR turn.”

“Days of wine and roses”, but without the wine and roses.

This can’t really be a French painting … the young ladies are wearing clothes!

“I thought day drinking would be more fun.”

“Remember when White House briefings used to be informative?”

Has he no shame? She is young enough to be his daughter.

That is his daughter.

Jacque le Paumée was surprised to find that bringing his wife and mistress together didn’t inspire either of them to suggest a three-way.

It’s no good trying to convince Marie to wear a proper mask. We’re just going to have to do the shopping ourselves.

Gee, I wonder who had beans for lunch!?

Monet hated going on dates with his girlfriend and her mother, never get children that way

We have to wait how long before Uber is invented?

Well – they better hurry, the show starts at 9.

Everybody had too much strawberry ice, but I think the artist threw up all over the canvas. Pink everywhere.
