The Barn by Ralph Hagen for January 28, 2025

one day very soon, Rory, AⅠ will overthrow all the carbon-based lifeforms on the Earth

then you really will be able to scan yourself like that — cuz they’re gonna bar code your fluffy white butt

Error!

Wonder what Rory thinks he just got as far as medicine goes?

Modern medical school instruction:

“Please scam your next patient.”

Ha ha ha. I’ll have to remember that, next time I’m at the grocery store.

I will line up at a regular checkout rather than go to self-serve even if I only have one item. Cashiers need jobs too. The store doesn’t pay me to serve myself. What’s next, we have to go out back and help unload the semi?

Silly Rory! That’s a self-checkout, not a self-check up!

[NO SALE]

There is an unexpected item in the bagging area.

Rory really does have his adorably innocent and niave moments. Like most living things : )

I don’t care what anyone else says if I have the option to use the introvert checkout line I will take it over the extremely long line up for the poor overworked cashier

I haven’t watched the Simpsons in ages, but the opening sequence had Marge at the checkout stand as things were scanned, and the baby gets into the mix and gets scanned. As I recall, the price that appears briefly was actually the episode number…
