The one thing all their problems have in common is – themselves.

Jeeze, Flo, your service is going to pot..Just another day in the life for Pollie though…(is that how it’s spelled?) He’s a cat’s cat…
I love how Wiley drew the little puffs of smoke out of eddie’s pipe, when everybody was looking at Flo in the silent second to last panel….Beautiful comic timing…

On some deep philosophical level they might be right(wing); however, its the exploitation of the Lady Pahts, by men who feel they have dominion over them, that are the real problem. Leaping Lemurs… I think I’ve got it!
EDinWAState over 12 years ago
Okay… I know… before anyone criticizes… The first phrase of the second part of the compound sentence has for its subject “the exploitation”, which, in this case, is singular. So, the preposition “are” which appears in the last phrase and modifies the subject of the first phrase should have been written as “is” to denote the singularity and, in addition, relates properly the the singular noun “problem” at the end.Jeez.

No Richard, I believe it’s a mullah meeting on how to bring the rest of Afghanistan under their heels after the US leaves.

A clear demonstration of the first principle of domestic relations: At no time and under no circumstances is it ever the woman’s fault.

That doesn’t say much for Flo’s coffee.

There is an important rule that a lot of people forget. Never, ever @*#$ with the people who make your food. Eddie, in having his head stuck in the coffee pot got off lucky. The rest of them might want to look twice at their breakfast tomorrow.

Well, if Flo hadn’t had a coffee paht in her hand, then Cap’n Eddie wouldn’t have a problem.

You Libs are just a bunch of women always complaining. “Men suck and they’re stupid and gross and they’re all Republicans and racist too.” Geez get a life! Oh, and grow up!
vwdualnomand over 12 years ago
fox news agrees that all problems in the world are created by women, so they have to phone hack everyone.

It’s like a meeting of the GOP braintrust – minus several hundred million dollars.

It’s not the lady “pahts” that are the problem; it’s the chasing after them that causes all the expense and misery.
Jack Straw over 12 years ago
Sounds like something Rush Limbar would have said.
gmu328 over 12 years ago
sounds like the far right and conservative republican’s conclave

Lady pahts have also been the source of much joy and happiness. Let us appreciate and revere them…hopefully without mentioning our mothers again. Kinda creepy, that.
justalurkr over 12 years ago
I haven’t laughed this hard in a month. I needed that.
Happy, happy, happy!!! Premium Member over 12 years ago
you got it wrong, gents. the problem is that there aren’t enough “lady pahts” to go around…
gosfreikempe over 12 years ago
If’n youse is referrin’ ta the missin’ apostrophe in the sentence containin’ da phrase “…sentence has for its subject…” den youse is WRONG. Hand back da pedant award pendant. :)
gosfreikempe over 12 years ago
It’s the contracted form of “it is” that gets the apostrophe. Its a common error to put the apostrophe into the possessive form. The usual rule is backwards here, which makes the possessive apostrophe into something it’s not. In this case, the apostrophe isn’t used, because, in this sentence, it’s not referring to “it is,” but is using the possessive version of its. There, have I pounded that into the ground far enough for the dog to dig it up and roll in it until said dog needs a bath?

Not to worry, there are lots of religions to deal with the “lady pahts” issue.
