Memories of Blazing Saddles.

Jack Teixeira, hopefully his prisoner number is easier to remember

Whoever is collecting in the toll booth might be your first suspect…….

I think the Fink may be collecting a toll from his own army.

Well….. Go and collect the tolls Rodney. And pay your troops.

Did anyone remember the dimes?

Someone’s gotta go back and get a boatload of dimes!

Someone watched Blazing Saddles?

Now what’ll that a-hole think up next. Somebody’s got to go back and get a load of dimes.

Soldier #4?

Always making a “buck” off of something.

Judging by the second guy’s reaction, it was him.

Time to hit the Pubs. Yip yip yip yip yip

Since when does an invading army pay for travel. Imagine Ukraine sending Putin a bill for all the miles his tanks went on their land. That could bankrupt Russia.

Uh oh so who forgot the E-ZPass?

You, in the back….

I’m pretty sure if you poke a pointy thing at the guy in the toll booth he’ll give you a free pass. I mean really, the guys in the ambush want to kill you and get home in time to watch the game.

Someone must have toll-ed.

It’s called channeling, Rodney. You don’t just set up a perimeter, but you use natural geographical features and intentionally placed barriers to channel aggressors where you would prefer they attack. The goal is to figure out where they are channeling you (it won’t always be obvious) and attack from a different place.

So, walk next to the road. No toll! Easy peasy…

First soldier is Beetle Bailey visiting ID?

What battle plans, Rod?! You mean retreat routes! :D

Mark Milley that you? Rofl

Should have set one up on the Southern Border of the US.

Google maps > configuration>(scroll up) “avoid Tolls”

“War is a Racket” pull it up on Forgotten History YouTube channel.

This is a good time to consider whether the invasion is worth the cost.

I would stiff them on the toll.

Allegory of the subway station being built next to the West Los Angeles VA…

There’s only one road. Usually it leads through Poland and France.

Must be a common route for invasions.
