Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for September 19, 2021

Next time you may want to create a formula to help you remember things, Wiz!

The way I am, I’m looking for something then go into another room and forget what I am looking but remember something else that I was not thinking of.

Doors and doorways are supposed sometimes reset your brains thought streams. So that kind of thing is supposed to be considered somewhat normal, even if it is annoying.

The Wiz has a car?

I do that, too. The sad part is, it started when I was about thirty.

Some of life’s greatest adventures and discoveries can occur when we venture off the path (we were on). Sometimes we should be thankful for and to even “celebrate” those “mistakes” and “tangents” of life.

Now if you finally find a cure for haut goût I will start to eat venison

Just like Ian Flemming (penicilin).

Why does wiz have car keys anyway??

The Doorway Effect

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doorway_Effect

The Wiz got keyed up looking for something. It just wasn’t what he was looking for. So now he will rest his feet and think about it some more.

It’s interesting that we put it that way, “forget my head if it wasn’t attached”. Since our brains are in our heads, and we use our brains to forget, why don’t we say, “forget my body”?

He uses the keys to clean the wax out of his ears.

Man, do I know THAT feeling. I think…

Eating a bag of dried cherries used to clear up my gout in 24-36 hours. (There’s worse things to have to eat!)

I saw an older gentleman not long ago with gout. He was trying to get his feet out of the car and he was in agony. It took him forever. I tried to help him but there was really nothing I could do. Gout is no joke.

Productive day Wiz!

Why would Wiz need a car when he has Henry?

Yep, I do that. It’s very annoying.

I wish I could say that I do the same thing just because I’m getting older, but frankly I was doing that in high school. Well, not curing gout, but you know what I mean.

I, also, found a cure for gout! I simply cut back on my drinking and debauchery! ;o]

I was complaining about my memory once and my dad told me. "Don’t worry about it until you walk into the bathroom and say,

“Now what did I come in here for?”"

Car keys? This strip just broke the future wall?

They had cars back then???

Car keys?

Next project – invent the car.

Cool. That will be greatly appreciated by Gout sufferers…..

“… if it weren’t attached.”

That’s how you get your exercise…go into a room for something, forget what, go back, then remember and do it again!

Wiz, if you just cured gout, there is NOTHING more valuable you were going to do today.

My mother said it is called “here for” disease; you walk in a room and say “what did I come in here for?”

As you age, you become increasingly aware of and concerned with the hereafter. As in, “what was it I came in here after?”

Next, conjure up a car.

I had a defective craftsman screwdriver and I was going to return it. I placed it with something and for 20 years I can’t remember where something is.

Wiz has a car???

A cure for gout would be great.

Serendipity. Looking for something and finding something else you had been looking for previously. Looking for the hammer, but I found the pliers that I had been looking for earlier.
