Monty by Jim Meddick for July 23, 2014
Transcript:
To get comfortable in the pool, start by putting your face in the water and blowing bubbles... Whoa. Whoa. Hold on. Let me get this straight... You want me to place my face in here? Yeah. This water? Yes. The water that envelopes our bodies... Our feet... Our naughty regions? Um... Yeah. Sorry, but I'm afraid this is simply the best we can hope for...

Notice the elongated spacing between the last yeah and the period. Small intonation is expressed with limited visual means.

This is not going well for Young Master(-except-of-swimming). Thank goodness Jarvis had a tureen (or basin) and an adequate supply of Perrier! I pity the coach, too….

And how would you like your pool water, sir? Salted or chlorinated?

Can you imagine if he ever has to set foot in sea? The body of water that envelops ordinary people’s feet and naughty regions? I bet he’d have a heart attack.

which naughty region is he talking about, and that is what you get for not bathing or wiping that other region, and blowing your nose and ear wax…so many ,so many.

I love Monty but rarely, if ever, does a Sedgie arc do anything of for me. It always seems like the same joke or two over and over.

The kid kinda has a point. Basically used bathwater mixed with chemicals.

That’s mostly what I thought too when I got to a summer camp next to a lake.You want ME? To put my face in THAT water? Fish poop in there all day long!!!
I thought those guys would never stop laughing.
I got over that. But 50 years later, it’s back in a new way. No telling what you’re gonna get in those dirty waters. People getting flesh eating bacteria etc…. Best to just not even chance it these days.Ah, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
