Frank and Ernest by Thaves for September 28, 2022

Dr. Mobius, I presume.

sounds like pretzel logic.

Let’s take it in stages. We’ll start by working on your left side and see if we can get you up to “B”.

If he says (and “knows”) that he has this delusion, does he really still have the delusion? Is he deluded about this delusion?

Reminds me of my brother. My dear sib went crazy and thought he was a chicken. My friend insisted that I take my brother to a psychiatrist for treatment. “I can’t,” I said. “We need the eggs”. Inaugural member of the Joke Hall of Fame.

…number 8, lay them straight…

Crazy 8’s?

But when I lie down I feel like infinity.

Even if you could, would you really want to straitened out an even number. Now, ➿ is something worth attempting to work on.

I had the delusion that I was number 1, then I got married.

Just keep saying to yourself, “I’m number 1!”

In the spy novel The Striker Portfolio (1969), East Germans captured narrator/hero Quiller and took him to an interrogation center disguised as an insane asylum. Its director said, “…we receive people who stray from the Marxist-Leninist line and we persuade them to rethink.” Then he asked why Quiller had entered East Germany, and the snarky answer was, “I got the feeling I was straying a bit from the Wilson-Powell line so I thought you could fix me up.”

Shouldn’t that be ‘Str*eight*en’ me out?

What a riot!!

He’s gonna get fat. They will say he 8 everything in sight.

Make me one with everything.

Straighten 8 out and get a 0?

Lie down, take a nap and contemplate infinity.

You can’t afford to be that straight…

Frank, wake up, you have always been an F and your friend an E…!

So if he lies down he will be infinite.

Eight has always been my number and I don’t need to be straightened out, no matter what anyone thinks.

Gr8 comments today. But didn’t the original eight have eight angles?

What? And wind up a ‘1’???

Playing too much 8-ball. Became the game.

Just issue him a straight jacket.
