Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for November 19, 2024

Not exactly a red letter day

I’ve also got a side gig selling encyclopedias and Tupperware. Interested?

Hey, letter openers can be used to stab your co-workers in the back.

FAX it.

To be fair, Tim is just doing this to work his way through tech school where he’s learning how to repair dial-up modems.

I’m still trying to get my sundial repaired. It’s running slow.

You have to adjust it each season, as the sun drops lower on the horizon. Is it a Swiss-made sundial? They are usually more accurate!

He then moved on to typewriter ribbons.

Tough sell here. May require a few drinks at the strip club and then over to see Tootsie LaRoo!

Still need ’em ta open the bills…

Tim needs Wile E. Coyote letterhead.

“Sure, I’ll also FAX you a complimentary letter opener.”

He’ll be okay. He has the account for a studio that produces English murder mysteries.

Tim, have you talked to Wile E. Coyote? He’ll buy anything from Acme.

As long as they aren’t those plastic ones, I’m good

I still use an opener I bought in Tijuana in 1954. Still sharp as a razor and still used regularly.

Next he should try selling buggy whips

He needs to cold-call government agencies and raise the price
