Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 27, 2011

I think his question is moat.

Dingdingding! We’ve got a winner!Three comments in, and we’ve jumped off the rails and into political snarking!Come on, people let it go for one day. Today’s strip isn’t about politics. Take a break and switch to decaf.Funny strip, Wiley. I’ve done that one myself (although not on such a grand scale).

Oer is is it taketh measures to cut one?

Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk and cut it with an axe.

a Drawbridge to Nowhere( sorry just couldn’t resist the pun :) )

@ pouncing tigerThe pun is the lowest form of humor…when you don’t think of it first.

“Dangit! Cut it twice and it’s STILL too short!”.Of course, in the software industry we’d just look at something like that and say, “That’s not a bug—it’s the new Boat Launch Feature!”

Don’t lengthen the drawbridge, shorten the moat.

In this case, it’s cut twice: cut off the head of the master carpenter!!!

Or a plank for condemned prisoners (like the felonious monk?) to walk.

i’ve heard of a “Board Stretcher” but do they have a “Moat Stretcher”??

It’s all Bush’s fault. (Sorry, habit.)

Just build another bridge from the other side — problem solved!

Now THAT’S a separation of church and state.

Was it built by Moatly Crew? Looks like some heavy metal work.

According to an analyst, the bridge is at 50% capacity, so it is still half good.

Wiley has an over abundance of water colours.I crack myself up.

I looked right in front, mulled over the adviceAnd then for good measure, I measured it twice

I thought I was done, but I measured once moreAnd then with a vicious swing, I let it roar

Oh the horror, I froze, my friends yelled foreThis is a stupid game, I so totally abhor

I cut, I fade, I hack, I miss, I push, I sliceNo matter how much I measure, I never will be precise

Must’ve been built by Yoda — EVERYTHING from him comes out jumbled!

Raise it up, turn it into a ramp and get the General Lee and well, at least you’d be able to get out!

Only athletes are allowed to enter the castle. It’s either a decent long jump or an easy pole vault.

And the friar on shore told him to have “faith”?

Idiot!

Fanolio: She’s wearing a mask and feather boa over her standard skull t-shirt.

Digital Frog – great to see you back and in fine punny form!

Political?! You have got to be kidding.

The king is a fink and the bridge it did sink.

I think someone had it right when they said separation of church and state, but I’m just not sure as to the reference, I’m sure that’s it a classic Wiley double sight/slight gag.

My first thought was also that narrowing the moat at that point would be the simplest solution.

Its a drawbridge. So why not just draw another bridge.

Oh the Majesty of it. Reminds me of “Beagle 2” To Mars. Great mission on paper. Someone forgot to mention that the rule of measure was Metric not Standard. Guess what it either missed Mars and still flying on into the Cosmos or it crashed, Ooops!
