The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for April 24, 2024

There is a tiny difference between comedy and humour.

No sense of humor, but a a good sense of right and wrong.

I can see Brutus playing Pseudolus. There certainly is something peculiar that goes on at his job.

Used to be when you had good humour leeches were applied.

Brutus: the Good Humor Man…

so it was either dead silence or a bunch of frustrated groans…

Rancid Veeblefester was born with an underdeveloped sense of good humor. He keeps the sense of good humor malnourished by using alum as a coffee additive along with half a lemon.

Just another day in the life huh Brutus ?

Most bosses are like that, Brutus.

Gladys coulda shoulda known the answer to both questions before she asked them and spared our hero the pain. It must’ve been even worse than usual because Brutus looks numb. He probably has the only desk job that causes PTSD. As the late great Leon Russell said in his song Tightrope, “a comedy of errors and I’m falling…”

I’m sorry to tell you, my dear Brutus, but a comedy of errors isn’t a ha-ha moment. My whole last Sunday could be said to be a comedy of errors, too. But, there was very little funny involved.

Take it with a grain of salt Brutus. Another 10 years or so and retirement. If you burn Gladys’ credit cards.

“Yet this my comfort: when your words are done,

My woes end likewise with the evening sun.”

― William Shakespeare

He’s most definitely looking for errors, as it’s his business. As long as the bottom line is good, he will be happy or happier the larger they are. But a Philosopher who appreciates irony, he will never be…..

He will always be rancid Rancid.

At least it wasn’t slapstick.

There’s nothing comedic about errors.

As far as Veebs is concerned, there is no comedy if there are errors.
