Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for May 20, 2023

A very skinny cheerleader in a balsa wood coffin.

Push him back, Push him back, Waaayyyy back

I’d like to see the “dismount” and landing.

Go team!

Give us an H! Give us an E! Give us…

Some may take Offense from this display.

How the times have changed. Quite a while back while in a “team building” exercise with one of my employers, we were asked to write down a fact about ourselves that we thought our coworkers didn’t know about us and then the group had to guess who went with what fact.

One of the entries was “I was a high school cheerleader.” Most people guessed it was one of the women and we were wrong.

Oy!

If it’s a male cheerleader, wouldn’t he be on the bottom?

Cradle Catch!

Rah rah ree, kick him in the knee. Rah, rah rass, kick him in the other knee

So where are the pom-poms?

He’s going to be buried next to his Brother, the stand-up comedian.

Is it “W” Bush or Rick Perry?

You have an interesting way of creating characters…

“I’ve got spirit! Yes, I do!… I’ve become a spirit, how ’bout you?”.

And those two guys must be very strong!

As someone who worked in funeral service, I kinda dig jokes like this.
