Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for October 16, 2020

Death is a bummer of a diet.

This is not the way he wanted to lose weight.

S/he will also become enlightened!

No pain, no gain?

No matter how you slice it.

I’m hearing the music from the shower scene of Psycho.

It takes guts to loose weight that way……or…lack of guts.

He was never the sharpest pumpkin in the patch anyway.

You’re not going to tell him the bad news?

This could be how Sweeney Todd got his start..

Losing weight will be a hollow reward for him.

Looks like she’s carved out a niche market

He’s going to get a face lift too.

Let your light shine from within.

Pretty soon, he won’t have the guts.

Losing weight can be a journey, keep your eyes on the pies.

A little trimming never hurt anyone….HEY, watch where you’re putting that knife…..

You’re gonna flip your lid too.

Uh-oh, this doesn’t look gourd.

I had a thin, athletic roommate who trained daily with an Olympic track coach. She told me she wanted to lose 10 pounds.

“Why? You look terrific. You’d look terrible if you lost that much weight.”

“I don’t care, I want to lose ten pounds.”

“OK, let me understand this. You want to lose ten pounds and you don’t care how you look?”

“Right.”

“I’ve got it. Cut off one of your arms”

Cutting calories?

Certainly a sharp prediction.

I don’t think that the knife was even necessary to understand the cartoon.

Halloween at the Bates Motel.

He’s going to go to seed, pretty quickly.
