Strange Brew by John Deering for October 28, 2008

Depends on what the meaning of “is” is.

I think, therefore I plead the fifth.

Rene Descartes walks into a bar. The bartender says, “Would you like a martini?” Descartes says, “I think not,” and vanishes.

cogito non, ergo non sum? Doesn’t really work in Latin, though, Runar. Funny joke, though. Gives me a chance to take my high school Latin out of the dustbin.

“I drink, therefore I need the fifth.”

or

“Coito ergo sum.”

Shame, Runar! This is a family strip.

No man is a solipsist with dog bleeep on his shoe?

Oh, that’s good, HabeneroBuck. Many lofty ideas come to a screeching halt where the rubber meets the road (or where the heel meets the dog poop).

Ray, If a kid’s smart enough to know that that means, he’s smart enough not to be warped by it.

Habanero, with dog bleeep on your shoe, you might not be a solipsist, but you might be a slipsist.
