The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for May 29, 2020

The beheading of Louis XVI would have been hilarious!!

Can you get a giant foot to push down the blade?

Normally, they’d have a basket to catch the head. But this makes such a neat sound.

All in all, it’s really quite a pain in the neck!

A guillotine, an axe AND a mace? They must not like this guy.

“How ya fixed for blades, Mac?”

Sorry, that one NEVER gets old. :)

Gives a double meaning to ‘cutting the cheese’.

Did you ever think about the guy who sharpens that blade ?

The unkindest cut of all!

I doubt “whoopee” will be what he’s saying when this ends!

“Lighten the mood…?” Why, they’ll die laughing!

WHOOPEE! (not Goldberg).

Gives new meaning to cushioning the blow.

Death without dignity…

This is an improved metaphor for the proverbial poop sandwich.

It’ll be a gas!

Live….. from Macon, Georgia!

Excuse me, you might want to add a bucket. Just a thought from a retired Engineer.

A mace? These guys are really not into humane or neat ways to kill.

More cutting edge humor.

The mace and axe seem to be a bit of overkill.

It could use a smiley face.

For full effect they should have a band play the “Liberty Bell March” just before the blade drops.

It is pretty weird to still be able to go into the Tower of London and see where Henry the Eighth had his wives beheaded. The chopping block is still there.

The Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast just had a great episode on Whoopie Cushions (Ep. 95, Makin’ Whoopee!) Great episode, fantastic podcast.

Perfect set-up. Good job Scott

Is this going to be a kind of permanent version of a “brain fart?”

Nothing to lose one’s head over though…
