…..and lots of leftover food.

He even burped it.

…and his wife held a party.

He burped it at the cops when they questioned him.

….and kept the lid on it.

He bribed the arresting officer with macaroni salad.

Did you hear about the Tupperware sales lady getting arrested?

She put up a fight. it took five officers to container.

What do great white sharks and tupperware sales ladies have in common?

They’re all about a great seal.

I helped out a manager at another area of my work place, bringing a leveler to adjust a table. After I finished, I was walking back to my work area when I noticed a guy who works there had his dinner out in a sealed Tupperware.

This guy has been on a food diet for some months. I walk up to him, place the level atop of his Tupperware. When the bubble rests in between the lines, I tell him “Looks like you’re maintaining a well-balanced diet.” He shook his head at me and I continued on my way.

There was a pile of clothes with tags on and the sign, “Never been worn”

Next to it was a stack of tupperware with the sign, “Never been used”

Finally there was a painting with its own sign – “Never been looked at”

He was no ‘Burp Perp’.

lost my lid over this one

He was just trying to find lids for all the lidless bowls…

Justice was dished out swiftly, since this was an open and shut case.

The suspect was liderate.

Well, can I have my clean containers back?

All the testimony in this case has been sealed.

It cannot be opened until the time is right.

They put a lid on the case, but it didn’t fit.

It wasn’t an open and shut case.

What’s the half-life of a Tupper container?

Come on, everybody, contain your excitement.

Good headline for burpsday.

Although the court reporter had some trouble transcribing the burps of the witnesses…

He was a recluse who led a hermetic life.

In 1964 my Mom went to a Tupperware party and the next day she demonstrated to Dad and I about the Tupperware pitcher…. that once it was full and the lid was on you could drop it and it wouldn’t spill. She stood in the kitchen and raised it chest high and dropped it…as it hit the floor Orange Juice surged up the cupboards about a foot and she was left standing in a pool of OJ. She forgot to do something when she put the lid on. :)

Great cartoon are, I love the font you use, is it available?…

the cops later arrested him for having a couple lids…

Sounds like an entry to the Edward Bulwer-Lytton writing contest. (Although I found out he was so popular a writer, he was offered a position in the nobility, twice, but declined, because it would have cut into his earnings as a writer. He was the originator of the sentence, “The pen is mightier than the sword.” In a final ironic twist: against his express wish, he was buried in Westminster Abbey. He was so much more than the wannabe character we usually associate with him.)
