Rubes by Leigh Rubin for January 30, 2022

Get used to it! It just doesn’t talk to everyone!

Oh, great! Now we will spend a fortune changing all the signs to ‘Formerly Echo Canyon.’

2019 my truck needs a new mirror, shop foreman: park in the line and write it up. 2020 my truck needs a new mirror, shop foreman: COVID no mechanics. 2021 my truck needs a new mirror, shop foreman: supply chain.

COVID blame— the new pandemic.

Wow not even crickets chirping

Come on! Do I have to repeat myself?

Maybe it’s not interested.

Supply chain issues.

Now, everyone will echo his sentiments.

It would be better if the echo did come back. As “Yo!”

Thank you, your echo is important to us, please stay by the canyon and all echos will be replayed in the order they came in…….

A man goes up to Echo Point, and at the top of his lungs, yells, “Baloney”…and listens, but no echo. He doesn’t get it…So he yells again, “Baloney”…still, no echo. He travels back down, finds a park ranger, and tells him that they need to rename Echo Point, since there’s no echo. The ranger tells him that it’s a might big area, and the echo sometimes takes a little while, and to go try again, and just be patient. So the man goes back up, takes a deep breath, and yells, “I’m the greatest lover in the world”….and he hears, “Baloney”…

“Supply Chain slowdown” would be more topical…
