The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for September 18, 2024

And the rest is history.

No Brutus, those were electric guitar makers.

Can’t be, Orville was from Indiana.

And you wonder why you never get a raise. You’re lucky to have a job.

CLOSE Brutus but …. no CEEgar!!!

;-)

And Wilburforce comes home with another F.

That sounds Wright to me.

They did not eat Orville Redenbacher popcorn on the flight.

For some reason, I’m wanting popcorn now.

Two wrongs don’t make a right but two Wrights made an airplane.

Sorry, but that’s not wright.

No, Redenbacher flew a red tri plane and shot down Snoopy.

Wilberforce – You learn more when you study and confirm. Wright boys owned a bicycle shop and came down here to NC every year to for their flight attempts. Kitty Hawk area is a super nice place to visit. And from there – men flew to the moon.

You sure about that Brutus ?

just some more of his pop’s corn

OOOHH, SO close. The first flight took place in 1903, Mr. R of popcorn fame was born in 1907. Nice try though Brutus. Wilberforce is talking about Oroville and Wilbur Ohio; you know, the Ohio brothers.

That just popped into his head

POP needs to OIL his thinking gears…

Brutus must be hungry. Well more hungry than usual anyway.

Brutus is just winging it with that answer….

The Wright Bros may NOT have been the first in flight. Contrary to popular belief, Americans were NOT the first in everything. Inventing DID exist before the USA was created. LOL

“Several aviators have been claimed to be the first to fly a powered aeroplane. Much controversy surrounds these claims. It is generally accepted today that the Wright brothers were the first to achieve sustained and controlled powered manned flight, in 1903. It is popularly held in Brazil that their native citizen Alberto Santos-Dumont was the first successful aviator, discounting the Wright brothers’ claim because their Flyer took off from a rail, and in later flights would sometimes employ a catapult. An editorial in the 2013 edition of Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft supported the claim of Gustave Whitehead. Claims by, or on behalf of, other pioneers such as Clément Ader have also been put forward from time to time. "There is no definitive proof of who was first in flight.

They developed the first airline snack.

Wilberforce should know by now not to ask Dad for homework help. I was FRAMED!!!!!! beat me to my first thought!

It was a Pop quiz.

Not quite, Brutus.

now I want popcorn… again tonight. which we have almost every night anymore. :g

I thought he would have said the Righteous Brothers……

I could name some “Ohio Players” songs. “Fire” comes to mind!

Did they invent the air popper?

That just popped into his head.

That’s not Wright. Perhaps they flew kits together in their youth. And might have dreamed of future, Jiffy-Pop, but decided to stick to the basics. And a lot of marketing.

Watching a movie about the Flight at Kitty Hawk, while eating popcorn, the circle is complete… ☺

Redenbacher? That doesn’t sound Wright.

That is funny

Maybe that was the first answer that popped into his head

They were popcorn and aviation people? How come they didn’t teach me that in school?!

Wait a minute… That cannot be correct – Wilbur was the guy that “owned” Mr. Ed.

missed it by > < much

Well, he’s almost Wright

SNORK!!!! OMG, that’s great!

Turn in your Ohio drivers liscence, Brutus ! You’re not fit to be a Buckeye.

OH BROTHER!!

Jasonsnakelover, just saw your comment then it disappeared? What happen?

If Brutus can’t keep those two illustrious families straight, next thing we know he’ll be confusing the kid even more with the tale of Orville and Wilbur’s sister, as per this dialogue from M*A*S*H:

Frank Burns (Larry Linville), on the subject of saving himself for marriage: I was waiting for Miss Right!

BJ (Mike Farrell): Miss Right?

Hawkeye (Alan Alda): Orville and Wilbur’s sister — she invented the first airline stewardess.

That’s not Wright.
