Frazz by Jef Mallett for April 27, 2012

She’s going to grow up to be my kind of woman….My dad would say she’s a girl after my own heart….

Iron Chef – says dice those eggs in 15 seconds or less.

Wrong, the egg gets squashed, not sliced and you get showered with pieces of boiled egg. Racket strings can’t slice a drat. (experience talking)

swing it REALLLLLLY HARD

*(the racquet, that is)

Getting all the egg to land in a bowl is the hard part – without committing a foot-fault, that is.

OK, assuming that the racket cuts the egg, shouldn’t she end up with egg “fries” instead of “diced” egg?Maybe they wouldn’t be straight. They would have a slight arc. (I know, I know; I shouldn’t be “assuming” anything. It makes an “as” out of “su” and “ming”.)

re-string the racket with thin cheese slicer wire (piano wire).

Seems like the basis of a televised competition.

People still play tennis?

Good trick little girl!

I worked at a Krogers to put my way through school…We used to deep freeze eggs. Then we’d say “Hey, catch!”, and lob the egg at them. (If you throw it hard at them, it would knock ’ em out!) And of course they would either try to catch it or just freak and jump out of the way…..Hee Hee!

You missed an obvious gag. “Love” in tennis is actually the French word for “egg”, L’oeuf.

She’s got awfully good form for a little girl who hates tennis. Her daddy must make her take lessons.

Comments are great on Fridays.

Hmmph. Everyone knows you don’t use a racket for dicing eggs, you use them for straining spaghetti!

Aaaarrrrgh! Curse you, Jef Mallett! Two days later, and what’s still going through my head? “♫♪ Jambalaya’n a crawfish pie’n a filé gumbo ♫♪ " I hope you are satis-fie-bied! (Must… go… crank up the Zeppelin.) All My Love to you, you… son of a gun.

Ha—that looks like fun! Can I try??
