Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 08, 2011

Danae, are going to take that cr@p from Lucy?

“Litterbox Lucy” has a certain ring to it.

But aren’t horses notorious ‘neigh’ sayers?

My horse complains when he doesn’t get to stay out and has to go back in his corral (with the other horse he hates). Another horse I know complains when he isn’t in front on every ride. And I know one who complains constantly about the fact he isn’t allowed to be behind

Wiley did this joke some years ago, except it was about dogs not horses.

When the whole world is your toilet…Hmmm. That’s true. If humans lived outside, they’d need porta-potties. Lacking them, they’d go just anywhere and that would be disgusting. Oh wait!

I’ve seen people who do that. Politicians they’re called.

considering all the trash, littering, pollution and just general waste of natural resources.. I’d say humanity does treat the whole world as their toilet.

“I’ve met the enemy and he is us!” … POGO (Walt Kelly)

Cats complain if their litter box isn’t clean!

My cat starts complaining from the moment I get up every day. She doesn’t stop until her food bowl is full. . .

One of my dogs always complains – not sure what about – but she’s always grumbling about something.

Yet one more example of how human beings are unique in the animal kingdom. Perhaps this kind of uniqueness indicates that we shouldn’t actually be classified as. .. animals.

I’m told that horses even though they can poop and walk, they can’t pee and walk…..Anyone know if that’s true?

Horses complain. My daughter rode one in competition that hated the girth belt cinched. She let me know this one day when she turned, without my notice, and bit me on the arm. I had a purple tattoo for a few days after. Damn horse, but great competitor. She still has my respect.

@dogsniff – having spent a number of years in a marching band I can agree. Unfortunately for us, the rule was if something dumped a load in front of you, you had to walk through it like nothing happened. By the end of high school, my white marching shoes had more layers (of shoe polish) than an onion

Who is smarter someone who jumps off cliffs and planes, puts the most toxic poison in skin folds, and put their head in a predator’s mouth, or an animal?

For most of human history the whole world was our toilet. And we died, on average, in our early thirties, often of infectious disease or parasites spread by our indiscriminate excretion. It was the Danaes of the world who complained about early death from diarrhea, cholera, anemia, etc., and induced the Jeffreys of the world to invent plumbing, antibiotics, etc…

well, just step on it then…..

Danae has obviously forgotten her days of her Pampers tossed out the car window.

With all the politicians on TV, it was only a matter of time before Wiley fell to potty humor.

Another big step for improved life expectancy was when babies stopped dying so often—especially due to antibiotics.

If you’re not the lead horse the view never changes.

My cat complains all the time (there’s never enough food).

I wonder what ever happened to Lucy’s boyfriend …the moose.

As does Lucy.

Especially the tuba players!

@ Dogsniff and Number Six: Very well read, people! Didn’t know there were other fans of the Greek orator Testicles and his opponents.

Apparently, Wiley never had a pet.
