Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for May 04, 2022

If that ere the case,I wish politicians would start being the straight man.

Poor guy, read Ventriloquism for Dummies and got confused.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but a straight politician??

My moment of clarity to retire from retail was when I realized that everybody was an idiot. The management, the supervisors, the customers.

the other Nancy, on the other hand, who should have retired and handed over to the younger generation – is still clinging on and strutting around.

He appears to not know what to say. This is what can happen when you don’t give someone a chance to speak for themselves.

Jeff Dunham in his fading years. He finally cracked from repeatedly mouthing “I keel you!”

Makes me wonder who the REAL dummy is here…

Hmmm. In couples counseling, is there always a dummy involved? If that were the case, I’d put my money on the one talking.

Dr. Nancy’s moment to be the voice of the dummy rather than beating her head against the wall with all her dummy patients.

It is a great moment when one makes the decision to retire. The remaining work time flies by.

you guys are friends. who’s the real dummy

He doesn’t seem to remember how he had a hand in all of this.

Crazy people make you crazy. Once you go crazy you’ll never go back.(You can only pretend)

Looks like they’re both dummies.

I read somewhere that sometimes Edgar Bergen forgot his lines but Charlie McCarthy never did.

Admit it, it was a surprise when he tried to put his hand up your back… and missed. Slivers ya know.

Closeup of her notebook: {Sigh} Yet another case of classic projection : (

My wife became a psychotherapist at the age of 72. She had some seriously “stuck in a rut” clients. She had writer friends and thought she might anonymously publish a novel about a psychotherapist who killed her most long-suffering clients to make their pain stop.

Tragically, she was forced into retirement three years later when diagnosed with ALS. She was an amazing woman, 24 years older than I. Still miss her.

I can’t imagine some of the things counselors must hear.

That’s how I see people that “identify” as something they’re not: mentally ill.

MAGIC is fun.you’re dead!

SPECTATOR:“How do y ou talk without moving your lips?”

EDGAR BERGEN:“Well,Miss,you’re asking a very difficult question”.

CHARLIE McCARTHY:“You’re also asking the wrong man”.

OR to really increase her rate……

“The big guy just ain’t funny.”

What a dummy!

Why? As long as his checks clear…

This recalls an episode of The Bob Newhart Show from the ’70s.

What .. ! It’s taken her THIS LONG to work that out??

And, the Puppet says:

“Well, Doctor, we’d get along a lot better if he wasn’t always sticking his Hand up my Butt.”
