Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for November 21, 2024

true – nor from the canal’s bottom

If he did, he would have run from thinking they were from the police.

Why did they let him go free?

There’s that pot ;-]

The only northern lights Andy saw were on the top of police cars.

Ya can’t see them OVER you. Refraction doesn’t work that way.

HANK WILLAMS SR. I saw the light[Verse 1]I wandered so aimless, life filled with sinI wouldn’t let my dear savior inThen Jesus came like a stranger in the nightPraise the Lord, I saw the light

[Chorus]I saw the light, I saw the lightNo more darkness, no more nightNow I’m so happy, no sorrow in sightPraise the Lord, I saw the light

[Verse 2]Just like a blind man, I wandered alongWorries and fears I claimed for my ownThen like the blind man that God gave back his sightPraise the Lord, I saw the light

[Chorus]I saw the light, I saw the lightNo more darkness, no more nightNow I’m so happy, no sorrow in sightPraise the Lord, I saw the light

[Verse 3]I was a fool to wander and a-strayStraight is the gate and narrow the wayNow I have traded the wrong for the rightPraise the Lord, I saw the light[Chorus]I saw the light, I saw the lightNo more darkness, no more nightNow I’m so happy, no sorrow in sightPraise the Lord, I saw the lightkeep up the good work Vicar. Jesus Christ(mas) Is coming.

The police station has a plaque engraved on Andy’s reserved cell

We knew it was going to be either a clink or canal punchline.

One rarely sees Andy so visibly hung over.

But he did see a bare lightbulb in a wire cage.

Has to be facing in the right direction, Andy.

Andy spends as much there as he does at home….

You should claim tenure there and demand a cell with a view.

Should have asked for a cell with a view.

That little window in his cell was facing south.

Or from the bottom of the canal.

I bet the only thing Andy saw was the glow from his nose. (Which might be mistaken for the Northern Lights.)
