The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for June 16, 2020

I wasn’t expecting the Spinach Inquisition.

This can isn’t going to talk until you bring out the comfy chair.

“You can go to Helena!!”

“I say I’m spinach, and I say the hell with you!”

The capital of Montana is “M”.

“How come you’re the only leafy vegetable that tastes okay in an omelet?”

What is the root of Popeye’s obsession with yams…?

We’re lean, and green, and we can take it!

To hold up under such torture requires an iron will.

It will get better when they turn up the heat an he gets steamed.

He was so pressured, he flipped his lid…

Hah! The spinach doesn’t carrot all. He’s bean here before.

They won’t leaf him alone.

That’s unnecessary roughage.

“Tell us, or you’re going straight to kale!”

I know, I know! Helena!

Why would it need to know anything about Helena?

Crystal City Texas, is the spinach capital of the US..

Strangely, Alma Arkansas seems to dispute that claim.

You think your alibi is rock salad?

“You don’t know what you’re messing with/No you never did/I’m mean and green and I am baaad!” (Little Shop of Horrors)

Nobody expects the spinach inquisition

We all know that Hannah is the Capital of Montana.

Nice comments today! And the Trolls stayed out of it!

If the spinach won’t answer their questions, the tin can. He’s been keeping it all inside, but now he’s ready to open up.

As an unrepentant punster, I am green with envy!

What do they expect to produce from this line of questioning?

Not sure what Helena, Montana has to do with spinach. Is Hilburn just throwing in a red herring?

Take him to India and cook him until he starts to Saag.

Take him to the steakhouse and have him creamed.

Madison, Wisconsin just down the Bascom Hall hill and up and atop the next one.

Maybe he’ll turn over a new leaf.

Great comments today, kudos to all!!

Leafy greens of Montana, none say they’re a fan a, being stewed in a can-a.

I hope Michael Palin gets to see this. He’d probably enjoy it.

How many bottles of olive oil have you had before you got behind the wheel?
