… which explains the mysterious disappearance of the Fighting Canaries marching band.

Nice going Bufalino, you put the pool in sideways. Now all the water will spill out if you try to drive it around, what an absolute blunder.

Little did he know he was inventing the yellow die.

This made me look up Bufalino. He’s also produced a telephone cabin fish tank, an upside down car into a ping pong table, a cement truck disco ball and a car pizza oven amongst other things. Ace!

Did Neo disappear into the matrix?

Mmmm, this yellow lollipop is delic—-BOOM!!!!

HOW DID HE MAKE A SWIMMING POOL WITH A SCHOOL BUS!??

Benedetto went to jail after police discovered 15 drowned passengers.

Bufalino must use a lot of chlorine in his pool water

Just imagine if that yellow dye had been used in the manufacture of skivvies! Exploding Underpants would have been the event that exposed— no pun intended— TNT’s volatility!

I know that EYE have certainly yearned to swim in a public bus that had been converted into a poll. Doesn’t everybody?

I don’t know how bon this mot is but it goes like this! Two old maid sisters lived together a very pure and abstinent life with two basic loves, The Church and a little pure white female cat that they named Lucy! They were very careful never to allow the cat outside in the cruel world where some stray Tom cat that happened to be a sporting man might be waiting to torture her with his amorous advances! One evning at a church social one of the sisters meets a handsome gentlemen who was single and they were immediately attracted to each other! To make a long story jus ta teeny bit shorter, they started seeing each other, their love grew and they decided to get married! After the ceremony, the other sister says "When you get a moment drop me a line and tell me what married life is like! The sister agreed and off they went on their honeymoon!In a few days a postcard shows up in the mail and the sister is so excited to read it so she turns it over and reads these three words….TURN LUCY LOOSE!See ya in the funnies or the GoComics!

A sweet old lady was astounded when her kitty had a litter of six kittens. She called the vet immediately and said the cat had NEVER been outside—never! The vet had to see this, so he goes to her home, and sure enough, here’s the contented mama cat and her newborn baby kittens. Just then, a big tomcat sashays into the room, smug smile on his face. The vet says, well there’s your answer, right there! The old lady says, Oh it can’t be him. He’s her brother…

Until their clothes started to explode.

When I was a teen my cat disappeared and reappeared two years later. One day a neighbor from several streets away was driving by and saw him in my yard. “That’s my cat!” Apparently she had thought he was a stray and taken him in the house and it took him two years to finally get out and come home. I had to get out photos to prove he was mine.

Blind or not, Neo is a cat. He wasn’t missing, his owners were missing. And easily replaced.

For 30 years Joe made money on the side by entertaining at birthdays and bar mitzvahs with his ‘spontaneous combustion’ bow ties.

Fanny LeBlanc’s estate sued Bufalino and won when Fanny passed on while waiting for the sidetracked bus.

And just how was the explosive quality discovered?

“That’s a beautiful necktie! Let’s look at it under this lamp.”?

Ka-Blammo.

Take care, may soluble fiber researcher Dr. Helen Buttburp Axelord be with you, and gesundheit.

And, ironically, the cat was staying with a blind couple who had lost their cat and thought that Neo was their’s.

Why didn’t the owners of Neo, keep him in the house? SMH

If he’s blind, how does he know he was missing?

i thought Alfred Nobel might have used TNT in his dynamite experiments, but that was nitroglycerine with the clay. My bad …his BANG!

It’s explosive properties were discovered when paintings and bikinis began to blow up all over Berlin…

The city where I live…they could turn some of the city buses into pools also, for all the riders some routes get. Huge waste of fuel.

my little kitty cat died Monday…Mischief was 21 years old

We used to find picric acid in some of the older labs I worked in. It was bright yellow, and I think people had used it to mark the fur of some mice or rats being used. We had to get rid of it because old bottles of it sitting around for years could explode… it’s a relative of TNT.
