Fred Basset by Alex Graham for March 13, 2022

are you next Fred? Maybe you can help fish him out!

Gone! You’ve had the same unfortunate experience trying to jump across in the past. Although, I think I remember you making it once when you had a really good running start. At any rate, once he climbs out, you can offer him some sympathy on the way home to get him dried out.

Some ponds were not meant to be crossed.

Gone!

10 points for the jump …. 0 points for the landing ;-)

A summersault would have been a lot drier

Well, so much for recapturing one’s youth! LOL!!

Back back back back back! Splash! Now go try to explain to Mrs. Dear why Fred’s dry and you’re wet.

If Mr Dear remembers 1980s music, he will be remembering Wet, Wet, Wet.

Oh dear… I’ve done that a few times in the last few months. Not crossing a creek, just walking on a level floor! :/

If they meant to cross that creek Fred would have been a retriever or a water spaniel

Try not to laugh Fred, even though it’s quite funny

He had his wellies on; shoulda forded instead of jumping! You can see how he doesn’t quite stick the landing!

Seems like a punch line is missing at the end. Fred should be saying something, like; “A bit too ambitious!”

And those ‘wellies’ just became ‘submarine boots’.

If that was the English Channel, I’m impressed anyway!

If you can’t help, you can at least do the play-by-play commentary.
