Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 29, 2022

Sorry boss,.dog ate my leg.

Overkill killed the orthopedic.

Anyway it’s funny how the phantom pain works.

Nerves are cut off and what’s left hey still keep working the way they used to.

If it ever lands in court between him and the dog’s owner, he won’t have a leg to stand on.

That scamp! Thinks it’s funny to run off with an artificial duodenum!

The dog stole my synthetic liver! Stop that dog!

… darn dog!…

…now he doesn’t have a leg to stand on…

..how’s he supposed to train for the Froglandia Gladiators?…

…old joke punchline…

…well, pegleg, pegleg, pegleg!…

…Frog Applause…

…the Applause that refreshes…

…recently, anyway…

…or is it anyways?…I went to school in Ravenna…

…we didn’t do grammar…

…we did have the Catholic girls come into the public schools after 8th grade…

…now those girls knew how to wear dresses…

…too bad schools are trying to ban them from wearing them …

…unprofessional, they say…

…‘nowhere old punchline…

…I fooled them…

…I ain’t wearing any…

…7-Up Gold…

…for when you want your soda to taste like watered down New Coke…

…I originally wrote dam -nable dogs…

…the comments police claimed that I used a banned word a day wouldn’t let me publish…

…that’s new…

…I originally wrote dam -nable dogs…

…the comments police claimed that I used a banned word and they wouldn’t let me publish until l changed it…

…dam-ned rigged Supreme Court…

I once read somewhere long ago, that when a small city drained its lake (don’t recall why), the city found 8-10 prosthetic arms and legs in it. That’s raises a lot of questions. Were the people attached to their prosthetic limbs when they were in the lack or was this all just a simple case of limb littering?

Buddy steals sox.

I can see it all now….dog takes it and runs, hobble hobble after the dog, dog goes in the basement…now you’re,screwed………………….chews the h-e-l-l out of it then naps….Who’s a bad bad dog?

To me, it looks like he’s running off with a prosthetic jawbone of an @$$. So, what does that say about the victim here?

Thusly, prothesis thief theories thrive!

He hasn’t got a leg to stand on.

The cat has hidden my dentures again. Spilled the glass of Polident too.

That looks more like a boomerang, Mate …!

Looks like a sock to me. And here I was cursing the dryer. It’s a little early for football, isn’t it?

The Coppertone C suite is calling it’s lawyers in 5, 4, 3, 2 …

ha ha, been drinking?

I think I get the idea, generally. But I do not understand why doggie-theft of a body part that appears to be from a leg (?) should lead to progressively worsening speech impediment. Could this be a symptom of the dread condition PANIC!?

All in all, a satisfyingly lame ’toon….

What is that? A clavicle?

They’ll never get it back. He’s got his tongue twisted around it.

Is a 13/16" Box wrench considered a prosthetic device?
