Rubes by Leigh Rubin for May 15, 2020

We had one of those in the river bottoms after the Flood of 93. The one state highway over the bridge cut away from the US highway, and it made a swirl that just bore down into the ground all the way to the bedrock which is WAY down there. It had to be 30 feet across, and took 3 days of gravel dumps with the dump trucks only being about a mile apart going over the bridge to fill it up decently.

Well he did get his point across.

Just because there’s an offset…

This reminds me of that Star Trek where the android pushes a red-shirt into a bottomless pit. I’ve always wondered why they couldn’t have beamed him out?

“Is not” owns a cat.

“Oh, I’m sorry, just one moment. Is this a five minute argument or the full half hour?”

science over philosophy

I remember touring Carlsbad Cavern in the ’50’s as a child…..one thing that sticks in my mind as we passed

through the dark interior with the aide of dim lighting, was a sign that touted a ‘bottomless pit’ and underneath that

it stated the depth

The bottomless pit is quite an attraction, but I’ve heard that many find the shirtless Pitt more attractive.

Any object in orbit can be said to be in a bottomless pit. It literally falls forever (or until something happens to knock it out of orbit), without ever hitting bottom.

Then there’s bottomless Pitt (William Pitt): https://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/pharos/collection_pages/18th_pages/P344_1948/TXT_SE-P344_1948.html

Great now are his bones still intact?

They got to the bottom of that problem toot sweet.

Sorry, but I just don’t find murder all that funny.
