Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 31, 2024

Wondering where he’s headed.

A great opening line, or a death wish.

He said “Bite Me”, but that has a different meaning for us.

Lost his head about the whole sex thing.

He headed out of there quite quickly…

She must really love his body.

Normally the male’s head is eaten first.

They must go into a trance or something as they don’t even seem to notice.

Mantis mating conventions have long been a source for jokes.

Oh-oh, here she comes

Watch out, boy, she’ll chew you up

Oh-oh, here she comes

She’s a man-eater

Actually the female eats it.

So she wanted him only for his body. How shallow.

Premature decapitation?

Somebody got ahead.

One, and done.

And here for one night only Mac Mantis, the king of comedy.

He hadn’t a prayer.

The Moral of this Story Is… “Don’t lose your head over a piece of…. never mind”. Carry on.

Well, I gotta head out.

She just wants him for his body !

Not that it really matters, but does his head come off first or afterwards?

His opening line was probably something like: Would you like some great head?

Don’t think so — a great opening line would have saved him his head …. and his life!

Heads! He won!

It was said he had a good head on his shoulders, not anymore!

Too bad he never got religion…..

So, which part does the bartender serve afterward – the head or the body?

That place will be packed on November 5th

GOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!!!!!!’

Do we now sing “Ain’t That A Kick In The Head?”

Lots of good puns here. I had a real world experience related to this. When I was student teaching years ago, I decided to spruce up the classroom with various live organisms including a large female mantis. Later one of the students thought they’d add to the collection with a smaller (male) mantis. Nature took its course soon after from mating to the subsequent meal. She ate him bottom up; he saw the whole thing go down and so did the students. Talk about a learning experience!

Goin’ Out of My Head over you, out of my head over you

Yup, he killed !

She did it to stop the snoring before it started.

Gimme a beer, whatever’s on-tap. And put a head on in!

That was a biting comment.

So, is he just a ‘tis’ now?

The score of a lifetime. This is why I stayed a bachelor.

Happy Halloween, all!

Never had a prayer

Oh, yes – an oldie, but a goodie!!
