Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 13, 2020

The stock market is NOT the economy

If life gives you lemons, seek those to whom life has given gin.

If life gives you lemons, you can make lemon juice.

But you’re going to need a lot of sweetener to make lemonade.

If life gives you lemons, freeze them and throw them as hard as possible at the people making your life difficult.

Interesting. All the comments are about an overused figure of speech, none about the point of the comic.

What would Warren Buffet charge an hour to be a shrink?

What if life just hands you lemonade to begin with?

As I sit here waiting for my covid test results to come back I ponder the details. The box of tissues has hit the floor and the cup of tea has migrated from the right table to the middle table. Listening to Bette Midler and The Rose

If life gives you lemons, by all means make lemonade. My real problem is that life keeps giving me onions and telling me they’re lemons.

Still crazy after all these years.

Am I crazy to think word association is something other than phrase completion as a method?

Most people worry a little about money most of their lives, so they start to invest to improve things, which makes them worry a LOT about money.

The stock market went over 30,000 right after Biden was elected.

Being wealthy sure is nice. Especially when it’s because of your own hard work.

When the worm turns, it becomes a butterfly but neither knows the other.

Turnabout is “fairplay”…

“Physician, heal thyself.”

Stock Market is a private insider game.

Saying the stock market relates to the economy is like me saying my neighbor won the lottery so my small business must be doing great. No relation.

If life gives you lemons, open up a used car lot.

I go the road less traveled. When life hands me lemons, I make lemon-pot pie.

Brilliant.

Excellent.

I’m sure I’m missing the point of this comic, but I see it reflecting the fact that in our world profit is way more important than sanity or compassion.

As my father used to say " You’re never so smart that you can’t learn something new from someone else." Here is one from Aristotle “No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness”

Someone has said that if they weren’t crazy they’d be insane. I’ve felt that way.

Seems like good advice to me …

Juliet Higgins makes a battery out of them.

Folie à deux. Let’s just change places!
