That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 14, 2021

Portrait of man farting.

Cornelius, get your hands out of your pockets!

How long can he hold on before he vomits?

George Washington’s half-brother Augustine, dreaming of making his fortune at last by selling Augie-Beer.

Old Man Potter was afraid his face would break if he smiled any harder.

Cornelis Roos (AKA “Rooster,”) / was always a Dutch painting booster. / In the Rijksmuseum / his good wife would flee him / because in the gall’ry he goosed her. /// And yet that’s not fair to Cornelis, / who gladly was willing to sell us / the finest of art / from Amsterdam’s heart; / no other art dealer’s as zealous. /// He made all the rest of them jealous. / They spied on him, (climbing his trellis). / But no breach of law / or other great flaw / was found — save that goose — so they tell us.

In line with your reply BTG…I was going to say, this was Horace right before he learned the meaning of the adage… “Never trust a fart”

When the Reverend was very young/ in his home, many hymns were sung/ and the children paid dearly/ though repenting sincerely/ til to Jesus they desp’rately clung/// His father was terribly strict/ and he seemed to be pleased to inflict/ on his numerous kiddies/ punitive absurdities/ that nobody could interdict./// You can tell from the Reverend’s expression/ that he’s just come from “Hannah the Hessian”/ Though his rump will be sore/ for a month (maybe more)/ he really enjoyed his “session” !

Schadenfreude ! So sorry you fell on the pie and brought the whole table down, Mme Traubel! Ho-Yo-To_Ho! Love your singing, though!

I had this feeling this morning when I woke up. Nothing had really changed. Except it was a day later.

Kinky Cornelius.

Side conversation in the mass of fans waiting for the theater to open !

“I’m a smarmy little dude/but I’d never be so rude/ as to tweak you right out loud/ while we’re standing in a crowd./But if you fart again, barrrrrrrrup !/ I don’t know where I could end up/so far from the (ob)noxious zone/ until at last you do atone/ and swear that beans and habanero chips/ will forever more not breach your lips!/ Abjure the snack, you can dump it/ No more hot blasts on your nether trumpet!”

Horace exclaimed “That was a good pork dinner”………..(thinks: yes, actually pigs ARE a bit like us

“What?…..You don’t recognize me?….I’m the third guy from the right on the Dutch Master’s Cigar Boxes. Seriously…..I just forgot my hat!”

How much did you just say this portrait will cost me?

“Dream along with me…”

Portrait of an old fart

He’s the male Mona Lisa

Portrait Of Johan J. Botox, captured in the five minutes between happening upon his billion-crown idea and realizing he could no longer move his mouth.

OKAY! OKAY! Cornelius settle down.

Joe Biden impersonator, but seriously folks…………

Take a good look at this portrait, kids. This is what a steady diet of beans and Brussel sprouts will do to you!

The slight smile indicated he released a silent gasser!

I says “just a trim around the ears”, but the barber had had a few beers so my haircut just left me in tears

WHADAYA MEAN, "DONT QUITCHER DAY JOB, A.T.???

The portrait for the $3 bill.

Perhaps it’s his vibrating underwear.

Oh yes, I know art. And I know what I like. And I know what you like. And you will like what I tell you to like.

These dental procedures, Your Grace, / have had an effect on your face. / There’s that sh*t-eating grin / and the drool down your chin, / from Novocain, quite a disgrace.

I’m smiling because … (giggle) … have you seen this guy?
