Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 21, 2025

Fun fact – like ducks, lawyers don’t get when when placed in water – they are too slick.

Definitely a different animal anyways (as another Canadian pop artist and Dennis DeYoung replacement, Larry Gowan, put it “You’re a strange animal, that’s what I know”!)

There used to be many genders, but Noah only brought 2 of each species, so now there are only 2 genders left.

One of the drawbacks to lawyers is that they can’t do anything about an act of God.

Of course, back in Noah’s day (if indeed he ever existed) they would have been dressed in Jewish ecclesiastical gear … and they thought of themselves as a race apart.

I’ve been told that lawyers are replacing lab rats for some applications:

They’re more numerous.

The lab assistants don’t get so attached to them.

And, there are some things even a rat won’t do.

They were given the Noah Account, to be handled pro bono.

After yesterday I guess Victoria is never coming back from the cruise…

Cut the tow rope. Do it now,

Sh-t got a little overboard there.

Someone please cut that rope!

I like a good story arc.

The rats and cockroaches objected to them being on board.

What do you get when you cross a pig and a lawyer? No one knows. There are some things a pig won’t do.

How many lawyers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Just one, but it really gets screwed.

Open boat…40 days and nights of rain…seems appropriate

I was ask if I was going to watch the inauguration, I said no!and I’m thinking to myself, why would I want to watch a convicted felon take an oath he has no respect for or will ever keep.

Good idea, although you need a much longer rope.

Cut the rope now. While you still have the chance.

They still being towed while waiting for payment from the guy who owes them for past crimes. He’s now steering the ship.

Maybe the Great Flood was God’s first attempt at eradicating lawyers.

They shoulda stayed in the dinghy.

Cut the rope quick!

if only that appeal had been denied.

" Might help expand the gene pool, but do we really need more predators?"

Sharks don’t need a boat. Cut them loose.

Sure. So, if you’re accused of a crime you didn’t commit…represent yourself in court!

I wonder if lawyers tell cartoonist jokes.

Hey, it’s Noah and magic Zoo boat ! ;-)

In 1985 Tom Paxton wrote a song called ‘One Million Lawyers’ . I believe his expectations were wildly exceeded.

I remember when lawyers could not advertise in the US and it took the Supreme Court to lift the restriction in 1977. Now it seems as if every other commercial is a lawyer commercial or an insurance one and therein lies the crux of many of our problems, insurance companies and lawyers.

Apparently they managed to get a stay of execution on Noah’s decision to prevent them from boarding. It reminds me a bit of the Golgafrinchum B ark.

By a 5-4 decision they are human. The rest of us are production/consumption units.

Oh no! It’s a breeding pair! The world is doomed.
