SRRAY?

He’s just stringing them along

Spray it,don’t say it!

What did you spray?

Hey, it’s no more silly than most counseling…and probably just as effective. A heck of a lot cheaper than alimony, and you can get the kids involved too!

That would be a fun job! I might go buy some Silly String right now!

DING! DING! DING!

GREEN PLAID ALERT!

Everybody do a shot!

If silly string doesn’t work, he’ll have them try paintball. Then a BB-gun fight, and after that, pellets, buckshot, etc. Sooner or later, one or both of them will be “cured” of their anger.

This is not a proven method of therapy. It’s only string theory.

Well, it’s better than being tied up in litigation for years….

I thought it was just some dirt on my screen, making the P look like an R.I guess it’s just…… a “typo”?

Oddly enough, this actually works!

Feel your anger build as you get hit in the face over and over.

First time I saw silly string, my friend came for Christmas & brought it with her she sprayed it all over, I was horrified!!!

Dr. Adam Schiff?

Serious rope activity, namely jump rope or archery, would be better for stress reduction and conditioning than silly string.

Not many folks want to follow better advice.

Misspelled the doc’s name

Perhaps implying an Austrian accent à la Freud?

This is the beginning of a silly string of events.

They might help save their marriage actually

Bleeb, stay right where you are. Here comes the lighter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :)

I think they’ve used a similar strategy using whiffle bats.

y’know, he might actually be onta sumthin’!

No one suspected that Dr Schiff was a major stockholder of Silly String.

That only addresses the symptom(s), not the disease(s).
