The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for November 08, 2022

I thought that only mimes wound up inside small boxes. You learn something new every day. :-)

the last thing to go through his mind was his feet!

He was such a nimble man.

I never knew he could do that!!

Did they save money on the funeral at least for the smaller box?

They work in cramped boxes, so it seems fitting.

The contortionist must have been a lot smaller than those mourners.

No amount of folding or bending could get even someone one-third their size into a coffin that small.

The crooked cheat tort lawyer, in gangster lingo, was “filed away.”

Interesting twist.

this is a stretch…

the eulogy noted that he was the kind of guy who’d bend over backward for you…

Yeah, I laughed. Guess I have a ‘twisted’ since of humor.

I overslept. All the good puns are taken. Lotus sad. Wait, the caffeine just hit! I wonder when the funeral will be held. I’m sure the family is very flexible. (Whew, that was close.)

Someone told him to pull himself together, and he took it way too far.

:-D they packed him a tiny box.

She was always wound tight….☹️

Probably a good thing it’s not an open casket.

I initially thought that he just opted for cremation

A line from a famous comedy movie: He was a man who didn’t bend easily.

First real LOL of the day!

ew

I’m not sure that’s a special skill after death

I would have guessed a fire eater whose act went terribly wrong…

It’s the little things that I’ll remember most about him :)

Perhaps the magician’s assistant that was one-half of the “Saws a lady in two” act?

‘Always wondered, was it against Marcel Marceau’s religion not to be cremated? Flavius Josephus’ books don’t reveal this matter.

One too many games of twister.

At least his mourners don’t look too bent out of shape.
