The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for July 09, 2023

Brutus is in a hurry: he left his drink full.

There’s ole Uncle Ted again. Getting the full mileage out of him.

Brutus, buddy, they’re called “Smartphones”. You use them to search for things like addresses and locations.

My brother and I were at a restaurant out of town, and he decided to flirt with one of the young ladies there by asking for directions somewhere. I suggested using GPS, but he wouldn’t hear of it. So he asks for directions, and the girl told him he can just look it up on his phone. I said, “Hey, she’s just as practical as your wife.”

Who wants to bet that the airport isn’t there either.

In Canada we call a shipping store, The Post Office. And most Canadians know where their post office is found or else they are really high on weed.

Poor Brutus, he’ll be lost for sure.

Fortunately for me the UPS, FedEx an Post Office locations haven’t moved in over 40 years.

GPS solves it all!

Google knows

boy is he gonna be surprised when he gets there. :}

It’s all in the family (gene system) so it would seem…….

Sweet Ice Tea with Lemon. Maybe Uncle Ted used Artificial sweetener instead of real sugar. Blah also Mr. Brutus. Any port in a storm – mail my package.

Brutus, better ask your GPS when you get into your car.

I like how that thought only occurred to Uncle Ted after Brutus appears to have left. But I’ll give him credit that he still remembers!

I’ll bet that the store is long gone and Brutus is going to get lost

why didnt he drop the package off first?

Ouch! This hits a little too close to home! Every time I drive somewhere, I see new buildings, new homes, new stores; I have to start over every day!

If it’s not there they probably left a fowarding address.

Aww Brutus! Just ask Siri. She’ll get you there.

Midlothian? So uncle Ted lives near Richmond, VA?

Uncle Ted is an old-time story teller, doesn’t get to the point till the audience has left.

The shipping store Uncle Ted is thinking about used to be on Midlothian. That location is now an Ace Hardware. Stores have a way of relocating.

I suppose that dropping off a package at a shipping store is easier than dropping off a ship at a package store.
