The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for September 01, 2021

Scientists are renown wits. Politicians are only 50% as witty.

I take it that the retort he’s holding is the one that is witty.

“You have always been my favorite assistant Ulysses but your impatience is quite vexing. Watching the balanoposthitis bloom is something that requires days to observe”.

Yes they do!

That makes the arborous biosphere WHIFFY not WITTY.

He should have distilled his remarks first Through the retort.

Test Tube B, or not Test Tube B? Oh, wait, that was Sunday’s gag.

I hope we’re not supposed to think that instrument on the table is the electron microscope.

Got Charmin?

I thought it was supposed to work only in spherical chickens in a vacuum

Electron microscopes don’t look much like regular microscopes.

Shades of TBBT…

I thought he said “chick” cell.

Except that’s not an electron microscope.

Does a bear poop in the woods?

A cheek cell? Depending on which cheek, that may be TMI.

This is un-ursine-able.

But seriously…

This joke is scatological in nature…

Huh?

Not in my woods they don’t!

Please endeavor to eschew obfuscation in the future

Indubitably so

Does that one have hair growing out of his nose ;-)

Not very smart, misspelled arboreous.
