Pause Ponder and Deaf As a Post


Did no one notice this guy hasn't got ears?

No I guess not. And I think many of our regulars were "stumped" this week.

But we did have a couple of submissions. Let's see what they were...



Is that "Mr. Hanky, from South Park? Damn he's aged!



It's the unofficial mascot of the 2012 Quebec provincial election. Why? I don't know.



But the quip that got me going was...



Jim Henson's early concept, "Kermit the Log".





Way to go Shawn. You be hangin' with dufus this week. It's too bad the Republican convention has come and gone. We could have put that guy in Clint's empty chair and made someone's day.

Tales From The Supermarket

Bob and Brenda worked in the supermarket. They weren't check-out clerks. And they weren't stock-boys. Brenda sure wasn't. And they weren't employees who worked in the fish section or the deli. No. They were on the shelves.

They hadn't been on the shelves very long but in that short time they'd developed a considerably close friendship.

The chatted all day when the store was busy and at night when the store was closed. They talked about everything. The talked about what raw products they came from.

Next up was the auto-biographical I Am Brian Wilson of Beach Boys fame. This was somewhat of a scattered affair but an interesting read nonetheless. Wilson - or his ghostwriter - however is no Hemingway.

Then it was on to one of my favourite authors, Ian Rankin and his latest tale of now retired Inspector John Rebus, Rather Be The Devil. I never tire of these stories and this is the 21st in …
