Did you work for The Tombstone Epitaph, Biz?

So the stories were written in stone?

And that’s how chiselers were born…

The newsmen back then kept their noses/(bills in this case) to the grindstone.

And the leftover bits of rock were given to the poor as gizzard stones.

Back when journalism was journalism and not an endless stream of editorializing.

Same scenario with me. When I went to Law School, the courses were easier since there were only 10 Laws.

When a big story broke you had to pick up the gravel.

I used to read that tabloid …

The old geezer is COOL!!! lol

With Trump stories, the word “chisel” still obtains….

This is what happens when the uplifted animals/appliances from the Flintstones outlast their owners by many generations. It’s a living.

Long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away…

then the editor would fix his flinty glare upon you and ask, what’s with this? have you got rocks in your head…?

Biz is a chip off the old block…

Who was the owner of the paper, Rupert Murock?

I just remembered this joke. What do they say a big story occurs at an Israeli Newspaper? Hold the Back Page!!
