Rubes by Leigh Rubin for January 05, 2022

Jeeze. Well it’s better than the stairway that the trains run on. REALLY LOW hand rails.

Hey, it’s better than I-95 yesterday.

You sure it hasn’t stopped?

I know a horse you can talk to about that…

I’m ashamed to admit it but one time I got distracted after getting in an elevator and forgot to push the button. I stood there for a few moments wondering why the elevator wasn’t moving.

… while elevating his blood pressure

Everett?

Whomever designed that elevator has apparently designed a few gas pumps I’ve encountered.

I don’t think Aerosmith has a song about this

“Hey, Everett! You’re in the electrical closet again!”

And the music… The music… The horror…

but I’m supposed to be going up. Why am I going down? Uh oh!

If you really want a painful elevator – then try a Voice Recognition version

The elevator with no “Up” button!

Could this be True? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outbursts_of_Everett_True

Hang in there, Everett. It’s not really that bad down here.
