The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 25, 2021

You are now…..a standup comedian.

What’s that: a menace or else?

I’d be partial to giving ol’ money bags a bloody nose.

This comment by Veeblefester demands a swift kick to his money bags!!

/SHMIRK/

I don’t miss having a boss at all.

Chiefey, the only time you’re not laughing at Brutus is when you’re YELLING AT him! ;P

Laugh at yourself before others do. It really spoils their day.

I’ve been laughing at THE BORN LOSER since 1969…

Does an embarrassing faux pas mean in English that you have to ‘gaffe at yourself’?

My last boss would probably save the final jab till the 6 month job evaluation time. Then it wouldn’t be so funny; not funny at all.

Surprised, are you, Thorny?

Well, he really did not make an issue of it!

Embarrassing Faux Pas are part of life’s misadventures. We have all done them, not too often hopefully. However the boss is correct and actually rather generous in consoling Brutus in a rather humorous manner himself. He’s not all bad…..

Cut one huh?

At least he tolerates embarrassing faux pas.

That’s good old Veeblefester for you, gracious to a fault, while being humorously insulting.

Wow the boss is mellowing. Old Veeblefester would have screamed and threatened to fire him. Or…maybe Veebs made a bigger boo boo and Brutus took the heat off him?

he sounds like my first boss. of course, i gave him a lot to laugh at…

You can tell by Veeblefester’s mood that Brutus boo boo didn’t cost him any dough… Shake it off Brutus. Stand tall.
