Lucy: Um ... why are you staring at a mud hole? Danae: I'm trying to figure out how to get Jeffery to jump into it. Lucy: And why would you want him to jump into it? Danae: 'Cuz he doesn't like it. Lucy: Well, you could just respect that and deal with more important things. Lucy: What ...? Oy ... sorry. I forgot who I was talking to for a second there. Danae: Honestly, I sometimes wonder what planet you live on.

You had the chance yesterday Danae, but you jumped onto it instead–euphemistically (or in Jeffreyese) make him take “involuntary jump” into it (in plain Doncastrian English, “push him into it”).

Whatever planet she lives on I want to join it! People are always pulling this kind of stuff on each other. Of course, if we didn’t then we wouldn’t have this charming comic to read….
