Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for March 31, 2024

Leave it to Brewster.

Brewster: ’Uh, yeah, about that…"

Ship him off to Pluto, post haste!!!

I just called out “Hey Siri, where’s my phone?”. From across the room I was told “Your phone is nearby.” What a great time to be alive!

I’ve lost mine a few times but my wife loses hers all the time. I’ll call it and even though it’s in the house neither one of us can hear it. Sometimes we can barely hear something ringing but can’t locate it. This can go on for five or six cycles. It usually ends up under three or four layers of covers, duvet and pillows in the bed. Once it was on a shelf in the garage.

You obviously haven’t searched everywhere.

How come it is always in the last place you look? Why can’t it ever be in the first place you look?

Until 30 years ago, I never lost my cell phone. What gives?

He is calling his phone.

Her dog’s name is “Phone”.

His phone can’t yell, dumdum.

Ever since the arrival of cell phones I have said that the most unrealistic aspect of Star Trek Original Series was that we never saw Kirk say, “Spock, call my communicator… I know I had it when I came in here.”

We don’t have where you say a certain word and your phone notifies you where it’s at? Yet?

“When I’m calling yoooo oooo ooo ooo ooo oooou”

Lost yer phone? Wants to find it? Well ya know, there’s a app for that.

I swear mine has legs and moves around. It’s never where I left it last.

When I was a kid, we never lost our phone. It was firmly attached to the wall.

A bud of mine kept her land line for extra years just so she could find her “lost” cell phone

As a kid, I once said, “I’m going to call a pizza. OLLY OLLY OXEN FREE!”

Brewster isn’t smart enough to use a smartphone.

Now show him how to press the numbers.

Ha! Hope he’s not staring the ship.

Hey Pam, just because you can’t find your phone don’t take it out on Brewster.

Is Brewster her partner? (as in husband) or just her colleague? I thought they just worked together. If he’s her husband, she must have married him for his looks.

This is a standard running gag in my house.

This is a longstanding running gag in my house. It’s why my wife and I never ask each other to call our phone anymore. “I can’t find my phone. Can you make it ring?”
