Monty by Jim Meddick for December 28, 2023

My wife likes scratch-off lottery tickets. I try to avoid rolling my eyes after she opens the half-dozen (of different denominations) I got her this year. But she ended up winning $120, so now I suppose she’s hooked for good. Oh, well, at least those have an expiration date, so I don’t have to worry that they’ll be regifted back to me next year.

I’d tell Mitchell, “Nice try, but a Christmas once-removed is fair play.”

It’s been passed around for decades now.

Hilarious!!

I actually use my laminator quite often, for my students. Irregular verb lists, comparative/superlative lists, question words etc.

Maybe Monty already has one

Go to the mall, leave the bag on a bench walk away, someone will pick it up.

Give a retired guy a laminator and a labelmaker, he’ll be happy forever.

have we seen Mitchell before? Who he ?

Almost made that error this year with a nice bottle of wine.

The gift that keeps regifting.

Well, it could’ve been a fruitcake…

It’s better if you don’t keep track. Part of the spirit of Christmas is believing in “gift coincidences”. :)

I liked mine so well, I got one for you too.

I don’t see anyone trying to “re-gift” the beers! :)

Re-gift and you shall receive….
