The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 04, 2020

The Who, What or Where guys are still looking for Art James.

The comics this week would be good Shoebox Christmas cards.

Moe, Larry and Curly: The Three Wise Guys.

I wonder if they’re related to the Wire Guys? (Wire we here? Wire we doing this? Wire we standing out here in the cold? Wire we…)

Every road trip ever!!!

What are they whyning about?

Actually they didn’t go to the manger, it was about 2 years later that they found Jesus living in a house…..

The Japanese root cause analysis method is to ask “Why?” five times, and you’ll get down to the real reason.

They are on camels and complaining ‘cause it’s not HUMP day!

" I wanted beer. But all ya got is whyne whyne and more whyne.."

Why’s there no bones in ice cream, why don’t bananas have zippers, why don’t monkeys have pockets? Oh the many unknowns!

Why, why, why???

So after all these centuries, we discovered a translation error in the Bible?

“Oh, a “whys” guy, huh? I’ll show you!"

“Wrong star”? Whadda ya mean we’ve been following the wrong star?

Why did you hang up on Herod?

They’re headed to the cradle of civilization.

…but to answer their question, it was probably Persia, but in theory it could even have been China.

Why is Who on first? Centerfield is his natural position.

Three “whys” answers:

(1) A longer journey adds more drama.

(2) The editor of the New Testament decided that a birth in a manger would have more pathos.

(3) You’re in the desert; the bathroom is anywhere you want it to be.

Just reminded how I wished as a boy of the ’40s that Jeans would expand 3 ways.

It’s like traveling with my wife, Mrs. Hindsight.

Actually they weren’t going to a manger as they arrive a year later and went to a house

“Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.” After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭2:7-11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

And why a duck? Why-a no chicken?

(Groucho, Harpo, and Chico were whyse guys too.)

The last guy is asking the question I usually asked my kids.
