Wizard of Id Classics by Parker and Hart for February 14, 2023

Anyone who has had the misfortune of tasting castor oil will have no problem believing that one of the worst poisons known is also derived from the same bean.

The source of the word, Blechhh

When I was a kid, I thought castor oil was for chair castors…….

Can’t wait to see the New, Improved Wizard of Id!

Then what do you use to oil your new improved castors?

In Germany, the container for radioactive waste are called “Castor”

She sure will.

Everything seems to be new and improved…not necessarily for the better!

Growing up we had Fletcher’s Castoria, which wasn’t that bad tasting.

I remember when the comic strip “they’ll do it every time still” ran. They had a picture of a guy watching television. They were advertising for the new and improved product. He was holding the old product and looking at it and saying what is this stuff, garbage?

If they make cherry flavored aspirin and Pepto-Bismol… I guess back then there was no such thing as anything flavored like now. People who lived back then sure put up with a lot of stuff!!!

Oh, sorry, I do have the latest GMO castor oil…

So I’ve heard, but seems to be a relic of the past.
