Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for April 06, 2023

Sage words. Too bad Humpty seems to have read that too late.

Egg Fell Young.

Ok, who’s gonna say it was never said Humpty Dumpty was an egg? oops

If there had been a sheep paddock next to that wall, the yoke could be on ewe.

Unfortunate cookie.

Mark Parisi’s on a roll with the Humpty jokes. This makes four in a row. A burst of inspiration generated a handful of gags, and each gets its own day.

Sometimes life gives you scrambled eggs.

The egg drop soup is ready.

and he was having egg foo young

Let me guess, having “egg drop soup” ??

Humpty was unbalanced.

NOW he tells me….

Life is all about balance.*

*It’s important to balance your life in the right place.

I think we’re building up to some Easter egg jokes.

What is peeking over the wall?

Yokes on you

At least he can’t say he can never catch a break.

not wrong

EggWallibrium.

Life should be about balance an’ that’s no yoke…

General Tso strikes again!

For once, we see Humpty without clothes. (OK, there was also a brief moment in “Puss in Boots.”)

He’s just a shell of his former self.

A better fortune would have read, “Idiot! Stop sitting on walls!”

In bed!
