Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for August 05, 2024

In 1975, I visited the folks we had rented a house from in Maine. I was surprised that I was recognized, as the last time I had been 15, and now 11 years later I had a beard. It turns out, I was recognized by my lopsided smile..

Last November, in the hospital for internal bleeding, a group of doctors was talking to me, and one of them commented to the others about how it looked like I might have had a stroke, because of that same lopsided smile. I laughed and explained that I had had that lopsided smile for at least 60 years.

My body parts aren’t lopsided. They’re artistically asymmetrical.

Reading Frog Applause gives me a lopsided brain.

Does he smack people upside their face?

Said Picasso…

…I’m not lopsided…

… said Dick Tracy..

…I just hang to the left…

…Dr. Frankenstein never took responsibility for anything…

…lefty loosen…

…righty tighten…

…yet…

…my left foot is one ½ size bigger than my right…

…the score was lopsided…

… Quasimoto was too…

… and don’t get me started on Pinocchio…

…Tell a lie…

…she said…

…but I always tell the truth…

…he’s lying…

I loved the original “Ladykillers” where Mrs. Wilberforce was referred to as Mrs. Lopsided.

… said the hazardous household chemica; manufacturer at a Congressional Hearing.

I’m descended from a long line of lopsided people. Just like everyone else I’ve ever met.

My uncle told me that he realized one of his legs was shorter than the other when he was a soldier in Europe during WWII. He said walking through the forest at night, half asleep, he noticed he kept going off the trail as he dozed. Always in the same direction. Interestingly enough, that’s the only story he told about being in the infantry, walking across Europe during WWII. So…yeah…something got lopsided.

I’m so irresponsible that I’m lopsided on both sides.

I would say genetic GENES are responsible for any lopsided, off center, long, and short quirky ticks…..deal with it!

Typical of this generation of Frog Applause™ characters – unwilling to accept responsibility for anything.

Lopsided vs. gobsmacked.

Blame it on the IOC …!

( they get gold for inSeine [sic] swimming )

lop-sided or missing ;+)

I am not even responsible for my own lopsided bodyparts.

Lopsided body parts can be a good thing.

Swaying to the Al music.

R&R must not die.

I’m tuning my teeter totter.

Odds and ends in the lost and found stash.

What hump?

Except for the ones who encountered me in my biting phase.

…except of course for my biological children.

The Muppets creator with all the strings and things.

Bumps I’m trying on a woman’s chest and that ain’t chicken pox.

The bumping rump dance phase, storming the nation.

No cartoonist should be held legally responsible for lopsided body parts. True. Is it in legislation of any stripe; or the NCS charter?

…science states that most female breasts…

…if not lopsided…

…are not the exact size…

…a little tit-for-tat sort of thing…

…but in this…

…Get off my lawn!…

…I’m not on your lawn…

…world view…

…lopsided age is all the rage…

…and for all my rage…

…"I am still just a rat in a cage…

Where, oh where, has the word “crippled” gone …?

(gone to wokeness every one, when will they ever learn)
