The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 20, 2023

Waitress! There’s a soup in my hair!

A cook not wearing a hairnet? Call the Board of Health!

Brutus should maybe try and find another diner.

Can’t be the servers?

So by process of elimination, would the hair be black, shoulder length hair??

If my wife gets a hair, it’s game over. With me, I remove it and drive on.

Waist length, is the hair curly?

Umm, the mystery continues…

Poor Brutus. He dines at the same old greasy spoon where they reuse the old grease.

Excuse me but there’s a hair in my hamburger.

I’m sorry sir. The cook presses the patty under his arm.

That’s disgusting!

You think that’s bad, you should see how the guy down the street makes the donuts.

Is it curly? Is Clarence Thomas in the neighborhood?

Lunch over.

In that case it’s probably hers.

it’s off the fly in there

Well, if it’s not Brutus’, and it’s not the cook’s, who else could it be, hmmmm?

No charge for the extra protein.

So…if it isn’t Brutus’s and not the cook’s…then it must be the waitress’s

Not a good start for Brutus’ lunch…..

Brutus: “Well Sweetie that leaves you as the only possible source.” That sure conjures up a hilarious image of the cook! Great strip Chip!

Great Cesar’s Ghost. We have a dilemma. Contact Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson .The case is afoot. OR just give the guy the meal for free and hope that he doesn’t call public health…..

Well, the hair could still be from Brutus, as he’s not totally bald. But, unless there’s a strong breeze abpit, I don’t see a hair from his backsides getting to the bowl.

That seems to leave the waitress.

Not the right response waitress. But I guess you can expect that from a greasy spoon.

Brutus just tell her no it’s black and shoulder length.

If it was purple, it would be from my niece in the U.K.

And yet somehow only vaguely reassuring.

If he’s lucky she will offer him a new bowl – ie, she will take it in the back, remove the hair, and return the bowl to him.

Make sure you get a new bowl, Brutus!

then, whose hair is it? it’s still gross. :p
