Larry the Croc: Hey, son. Mom say me got geet job. Help me write resume.
Crocodile: Sure. Employers really rely on those things for their evaluations. What do you have so far?
"Me like drinking."
Larry the Croc: It pretty gud skill.
With so much competition in that particular skill area, Larry will need to find something more distinctive to get even a decent interview. Let’s hope Junior can come up with something good for his mentally differently abled dad….
For those who remember comic history, Li’l Abner had a job as a mattress tester. I see Larry more as a couch tester, easier for him to keep drinking. Now I’ll have to go through the other comments and see if anyone else said the same thing.
“I like beer.It makes me a jolly good fellow.I like beer.It helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow.Whiskey’s too rough, champagne costs too much, and vodka puts my mouth in gear.This little refrain should help me explain.As a matter of fact I love beer.”-Tom T. Hall
Oh how I have missed the crocs! The crocs and zeebras are the best part of “Pearls.” If only we could see more of them. Characters such as the lemmings have no redeeming quality.
