The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 21, 2021

his favorite Beatle’s song, “ I Wanna Hold Your Hand Hand Hand Hand Hand Hand Hand Hand”

These aren’t his. I got them at the 8th-hand shop.

Son, do you realize how hard it is to find an eight-armed shirt at Target?

You’ll like it and wear it or I’ll slap the ink out you.

Mind you don’t get kicked in the tentacles….

“Be thankful for what you’ve got. There are children in the Indian Ocean who would give an arm for one of these.”

but I’m going to ink it a different color___

Michael Joseph Jackson

Don’t complain, they will fit you like a glove!

Looks like a tentacle tent to me.

That boy’s got a bad stutter.

Cuz it wouldn’t work if you only got a hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand me down.

“Oh son, these are just for you to wear while you help me in my garden!”

You should see Mom at a department store buying hosiery…

Wasn’t Morticia Addams knitting something for him?

If they wear clothes, why are they naked now?

Actually the basic term “hand-me-downs” would apply, no matter how many appendages they have. Adding multiple instances of the word “hand” just suggests that he’s eight generations removed from the original owner.

OK, Dr. Darwin, explain where those things came from. On the other hand, it’s a lucky pubescent boy.

Should be only seven “hands.” We have two hands and don’t say “hand-hand-me-downs.”

Reminds me of that famous Beatle’s song, “I wanna hold your hand, hand hand…”

So the kid is getting hand-me-downs, but both he and his mother are naked.

The Argyle Sweater did a previous hand me down with Eeyore and his mother back in May 28 of this year.
