Frazz by Jef Mallett for October 31, 2011

Apparently she’s never read “The Road not Taken” by Robert Frost. I never have in it;s entirety, but I still got the costume!

Nice reference to the Tigers, Jef!

Easier when you don’t overthink it. See last weeks discusssion.

Apparently, this really happened: A traffic cop pulled over a teacher and asked “What’s your hurry?”. She replied “I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.”. He said “Yes, but Robert Frost took the road less traveled and you didn’t.”.

Two roads divergerd in a road, and I—I took the one less travelled byand that has made all the difference..

Anent the Tiger’s uniform. As you may or may not know, Jef Mallett lives in Lansing, Mi.

Mrs. Olsen all set to guess it for once? Yeah! you would have! ~ Just like loyal baseball fans say – Wait till next year!

I think the point is, the janitor gets it, and the teacher doesn’t.“Two people diverged in a yellow school….”

As Yogi Berra said (channeling R. Frost, no doubt) “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”

@teddyrand Jef is from Big Rapids, MI.. The only Big Rapids in the world.

Go, Tigers! Us Michiganders, Michigeese and Michigoslings gotta root for our teams!

Paul Reed: I did once. When I got home, my wife asked me where I got the fork. I said I saw it in the road and took it.

poihths, I prefer Michiganer or Michigan-er

because good fences make good neighbors?

OK, so now that it’s obvious, would someone please explain the apparently red-herring clue in Caulfield’s “I certainly am” and “Certainly not” replies three days ago?

Not a teacher, but a school nurse, by all appearances.

Lions won.

aviatress: the only thing I could find is a quote by Irishman, poet Paul Maldoon, " I certainly am interested in accessibility, clarity and immediacy. No one will ever look at birches after the Robert Frost poem in exactly the same way." May be?

It’s not his fault he’s late… he had miles to go.

It’s Halloween; even teachers can dress up as nurses.

A nice excuse for Caulfield to be late to school, too…

I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

Which is another reason the new movie “Anonymous” is so foolish…it is said Shakespeare "only’ had a secondary school education, but education back then was full of the classics as well as Greek and Latin literature. Not quite the same as today. Of course, Roland Emmerich, judging by 2012, didn’t have any education.

I LOVE IT!!!!
