Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for July 08, 2022

But there’s still a little time left in the day…..

It depends. what’s your definition of work?

“Would you like to rephrase the question?”

If you think that, Shoe, you should sack him!

Most employers would not put up with this.

he is the Herb Caen of birdville

Years ago, a supplier was visiting our company. When he asked how many people worked there, his host said, Oh, about half.”

ba dum tss

“Not so far” or maybe “What’s your definition of ‘work’?”

When his next potential employer calls to ask about Cosmo, he’ll say “you’ll be lucky to get him to work for you.”

There’s always been a difference between “working” and being “at work.”

I know a couple of times that I could have used that line about an employee. One was the big boss’s daughter!

Shouldn’t work him so hard, Shoe

You gotta give the time for Cosmo to ferment those creative juices for your paper. He will you know. He is a stout fellow who will not leave you bitter about his work. Even if he is a bit lager-ly about the time it takes. And yeast you forget Shoe, he has been with you longer than all your wives put together.

Cosmo is just taking a power nap.

Present.

Working on his afternoon nap!

I wonder how they make the printing deadlines.

With his vehicle, Cosmo’s suffered many a Hard Day Tripper’s Night.
