Mixed Grill VII


Here we go again. Admit it. You look forward to these sessions if only to look down on them. So who am I to deprive you of that privilege?

Dodge the pullet – It wants to stay safe, even when crossing the road. Avoid the temptation to ram it. Don't worry. It'll run. It's chicken.

Logic
Socks disappear despite our efforts not to lose them.
Wire hangers increase when we're not looking.
Therefore socks must be converted to wire hangers.

We stand on the shoulders of those who have preceded us and I must express my gratitude to Newton, Clausius, and Einstein for helping me discover this remarkable fact. The laws of physics, especially thermodynamics, interchangeability between mass and energy, and quantum theory, dictate this inevitable conclusion.

A just decision – Hell, arbitrators have to live too, even if its necessary to alter their rulings based on who gives the bigger bribe.

Monopoly – Result of a merger between Hasbro and Parker Brothers. Cornered the market on games and got a “Get out of jail free” card to boot.

Manogram – Radiographic study of the male breast. Sometimes followed by a manstectomy.

There's room for all G-d's creatures. Right next to the mashed potatoes – Seen on a Saskatoon billboard showing a moose. Substitute tofu if you're a vegan. But I don't know how you can be so cruel to the potatoes.

What goes around comes around – but that's okay since you had it already and you're immune

A stitch in time wastes nine – If it's the wrong stitch.

Bay of Pigs – Sounder of swine, passel of hogs, drift, drove, or just plain lots. Made us look like a school of minnows.

Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas – Santa brings presents to a brothel

Netwok – Chinese food directory on the internet

If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law (Winston Churchill)

If you can't stand the humidity, get out of the schvitz

A House divided – Mark's prediction regarding the US Congress. He was unaware of the Senate. Lincoln knew of the Senate, but he preferred not to talk about it.

Jolly Green Giant – Paul Bunyan and his blue-green ox Babe have gone environmental

Naarishment – Organic and natural foods. Free-range anything.

Top of the mourning – Coffin lid for a wake. Guest of honor not awake.

Womantra – Hmmmenrpigs, hmmmenrpigs, hmmmenrpigs …

Death penalty – Hockey. Seven minutes. For very extreme violence.

Water Board – Torture in Flint, Michigan. Water prices raised but not a drop to drink. Indeed, the new Board motto is “Don't drink the water.”

A fair settlement – Bribe to mistress to get out of town so the wife won't find out.

Fly swatter – Distant relative of thumbscrew. Very Effective.

Hollywood – Yule log raw material

Patience and shuffle the cards (Miguel De Cervantes)

Just say “no” – Bad advice. Just say “Yes, dear.”

Oxford – Cattle car

Patchy fog – Political debate

Random – Competed in a marathon without preparation or saying anything about it

Yes I Can – Grandma just put up her tomatoes and wrote a book about it.

Okay. You don't understand them all. Hard cheese. I know what they mean. As the announcer on Batman said, “The worst is yet to come."
