Frazz by Jef Mallett for March 13, 2012

Oh come on. Seriously? Does she stand by the pot and patiently wait for the timer to turn it on? It is either ready when you wake up, or it’s not. If it isn’t, turn it on!

How quickly the disorganization percolates into the rank-and-file…

I turned on my coffee maker, but nothing happens! Where does the coffee come from?

Her coffee maker issues are grounds for making fun of her.

How many ways can she screw it up? The answer of course is 42…..

Unfortunately, we’re at the opposite end of the spectrum from the Chinese collective mentality. Ask ANY American to inconvenience themselves even slightly (as a national time zone would do for at least 1/4 of the population), and you open up a s***storm of biblical proportions.

Someone as clueless as her teaching our kids? I don’t even see how she passed her driver’s license test, let alone a teaching degree! :P

I believe that is called tenure . . .

Come on guys, it’s the old Absent Minded Professor Syndrome. The best and most loved teachers sometimes seem/are a little scattered….The most important thing is how well she explains and can demonstrate complex idea’s while keeping young restless kids interested in the subject. (Kids who would be playing speed-of-light action games on their phone if they could.)

I have to wonder if her DVD player (or VCR) keeps blinking 12:00.

It’s much harder to program a coffee maker than to simply turn it on.

I always loved the old “For Better or For Worse”, where John had programmed the coffee maker, and they were lying in bed smelling the coffee. Elizabeth walked in, and asked a whole line of “You know when you do this, and then it does that, and after that….?” She finished up with the question, “Aren’t you supposed to put the pot under it?”
