Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for February 15, 2024

Send someone who can actually sail…..

I guess Rodney’s no better at sailing than he is at soldiering.

Some days ago Woodstock rescues Linus with Snoopy as an helicopter: try it. Different times do you say? All is possible in cartoon world.

… or … Instead of “MORE”, how about “REAL”?

Couldn’t the Wiz sent his dragon?

That island is probably going to get very crowded.

A coconut tree in a deserted island

Is a trope-ical plant.

A red ship and a blue ship crash on a deserted island

They were marooned

Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are stranded on a deserted island

Sherlock says: We need to get off of this island!

Watson says: No ship, Sherlock!

How would you describe a TV clicker on a distant deserted island?

Remote

How many years did Robinson Crusoe spend on a deserted island?

Zero. Once he arrived, the island was no longer deserted.

An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman are stranded on desert island.

Whilst gathering food, they find a magical golden lamp. The Englishman says “rub the lamp!” They do, and a genie appears. “I only have three wishes to offer,” he says, “so I’ll give you one wish each.

The Englishman says, “I’d like to be living in a penthouse in London with £1,000,000 in my bank account.” His wish is granted.

The Scotsman says “I’d love to live in a renovated Scottish castle with £2,000,000 in my bank account.” His wish is granted.

The genie then turns to the Irishman: “And what do you wish for?” The Irishman says to the genie, “It’s getting a bit lonely here, can I have the other two back?”

What a maroon!

Timely. February 15, 1835 Charles Darwin arrived in the Galapagos Islands and found a big turtle.

Some help!

This is one of the rescue attempts of all time.

“Real Help”!!!!!!!!

What is the old saying ? Be Careful what you ask for ?

That’s what you get for trusting an “Id”-iot, Bung!

I hope Bung wasn’t marooned? https://en.wikipedia.oRg/wiki/Marooning

Bung must’ve arrived there on an alcoholic ship, the “Cutty Sark”, I believe. ;-p

Be careful what you ask for; or at least be more specific.

Sounds like a classic Bugs Bunny comment.

And then send a little more help!

Surprised it doesn’t say “SEND RUM”

Very funny!

How long did the casks of rum ration in the ship’s hold last?

Sir Rodney’s skills as a mariner leave something to be desired. For example, skills as a mariner.

SEND REAL HELP

That’s what you get for sending a soldier to do a sailor’s job. (No slight intended to either branch.)

This reminds me of a long ago comic called “The Dropouts.” Anyone else remember?

Surprised that he isn’t busily attempting to ferment the milk in those coconuts.

“Send SMARTER help.”

he clearly meant “rum” when he wrote “help”

Here on Gilligan’s Island?

Maybe it should say “Send COMPENTENT help!”

Does the tree make that a coconut maroon?

Hagar to the rescue!

Only from Rodney
