The cop didn’t know what kind of party, not knowing anything about the driver’s beliefs. So he used the general term “holiday party”. The driver said, “No [it wasn’t a HOLIDAY party], it was a Christmas party”. Since all Christmas parties are holiday parties, the cop reworded the DUI to make a point — that the driver totally missed.
Drives me nuts that this strip is written by a man. Especially when he writes stuff like this. Is he really making fun of women? I just don’t know how to take it.
That’s what I was thinking. There is no tree around here or in the nearby park that I would even sit under, much less lay down and nap. If there are no ants, there’s poison ivy!
My dad did, too. He learned it in the service during WWII. His lyrics were: Be kind to your web-footed friends / For a duck may be somebody’s mother / Who lives in the woods in the swamp / Where the weather is cold and damp / Now you may think that this is the end / Well it is! (That last line was sung, ending the song abruptly, surprisingly. But not shouted like Mitch Miller did.)
Generalizations don’t help: “Russia”, “US” — It’s Putin and certain US leaders. I didn’t want the US to do a lot of the things we’ve done, and the Russians wouldn’t want Putin to do what they’re doing, if they only knew. Put names to all your atrocities. Who actually did it? Stop generalizing.
It’s all in how you look at it. I learn something new about history almost every day.
