   Since Batty gave us a setup (“one last twist for luck”) and then declined to deliver a punch line, let’s see how many “luck” related punch lines we can come up with. I’ll start…

   Mitch: “you just broke the screw.”

   Ed: “I didn’t say that last twist was for good luck.”

   Y’all’s turn…

   Ed screwed the mailbox, Batty screwed the pooch.

   I feel like there’s a Magic Wheel of Fortune in Mitch’s bedroom, and every morning he spins it to see how old he will be today.

   Speaking of squeakers, you just know Ed let one go when he gave the screw that “one last twist.”

   I remember the discussion, but already can’t remember what strip triggered it…

   In any case, time for Ed to get a Phillips Screwdriver—two shots of vodka in a glass of Milk of Magnesia. Just remember, Ed: three squares a day, that’s the limit!

   We’re not told (let alone shown) why Ed’s replacing the mailbox. My guess is that Keesterman took a job as a city bus driver…

    And in the last panel, when Ed’s stripped the screw and wrecked his little project, do we actually see anything, like the mailbox dangling at an angle from the one properly installed screw? Of course not; Ed’s got to tell us what happened. Ya just gotta admire Batty’s commitment to the philosophy of “tell don’t show”!
