Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for April 26, 2024

Detour…..there’s a muddy road ahead.

Hmmm… If I were Skyler I would’ve just circled that blank line!

Pennsylvania?

Depends if you are dealing with Euclidean space or hyper spatial non-Euclidean space!

Most of the roads in the US.

Ironically, the distance between 2 jokes is often a straight line.

There is a shortcut, but it takes longer.

………and never finished.

Shortest distance between two points is a cleavage.

The shortest distance between two lines is a straight point!

A trucker friend of mine holds that there are only two seasons here in Indiana: winter season and construction season. This seems to be only half true, or winter runs along for most of the year since the roads, especially in large cities and the interstates, are falling apart.

Skylar must live in CT.

“… a set of bizarre circumstances.”

’Tis the season

or a straight line, whichever you prefer.

Or behind a school bus.

Ya I’ve been to Chicago too.

It’s that time of year when orange barrels grow on the highways.

At that rate, Skyler will graduate of elementary school at mid-life crisis.

Is the time between breaths of an opinionated jer… – person.

True

The shortest distance between two points is always full of people who also use Google Maps.

the one with no traffic lights.

Could it be a straight line?

Oh! Good one!!

Well that’s certainly true here.

Correct! A+!

There was a book in the “Spellsinger” series that made the sensible comment that the shortest distance between two points is…nothing. If there is nothing between two points, obviously they are side by side.

Skylar’s answer suggests (and I stress ‘suggests’) that the humble little ‘burg’ of ‘Tree Tops’is located in the ‘continually under ’Road Construction’ state of Illinois ! ! ! !

The shortest distance between two jokes is a “straight line”.

Um; the “super train” being built to go from NorCal to SoCal???

…a railroad crossing with a long train.

“You can’t get there from here…”

And if it’s not, it needs repair badly.

grain of truth.

I didn’t know Shoe lived in Atlanta.
