Raising the ante

I just realized the fink got knees

Good one……

First the gold, then the spell. No returns. Business as usual.

If you want to butter him up, you first have to grease his palm.

Fink! Don’t you dare put the Wiz in the dungeon…or you’ll never have rain…

Not the best time, but the most effective; so, actually, yeah, it IS the best time.

“Now don’t say you can’t swear off drinking; it’s easy. I’ve done it a thousand times.” W. C. Fields

“I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.” Johnny Carson

“When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.” Henny Youngman

“Tequila. Straight. There’s a real polite drink. You keep drinking until you finally take one more and it just won’t go down. Then you know you’ve reached your limit.” Lee Marvin

I love the rainmaker story told (sung) by “The Fifth Dimension.”

I expected his response to be “I knew no such camel.”

Timing is everything in these situations.

For some reason, the Fink reminds me of Jake Blues / John Belushi begging for his life in front of Carrie Fisher in the tunnel…

Seems like great timing to me.

Perfect timing Wiz.
