Reality Check by Dave Whamond for August 30, 2020

Isn’t that proof of intelligent life?

You have just passed the twilight zone.

One star and a comfortable distance, all that is necessary.

The lunatics are running the asylum

The state of current affairs is what is driving the price of a desert island through the roof.

Awwww! Can’t we take a quick buzz down to Maple Street?

I see the polar ice caps have already broken up and the coastlines have changed enough to make the continents almost unrecognizable!

Earth gets a one star Yelp review?

Its the isolated planet where they keep all of the Milky Way’s criminally insane souls.

Sometimes my mind makes side trips. I just thought that a tattoo that was just ‘ine’ would be interesting to have.

Shouldn’t the lunatics be on the moon?

(You may be right: they may be crazy.

But Jet, I thought the only lonely place was on the moon)

And most of them line north of Mexico and south of Canada.

Mostly harmless.

Now why would creatures from another world use the term “lunatics”? The word is derived from “lunar”, meaning moon, meaning that orb that circles the earth.

I would have thought the *luna*tics would be kept on the moon.
