Old jokes are the best jokes.
For those who may have tuned-in for my traditional Christmas Greeting
Recycled Christmas Eve
In the spirit of holiday laziness and
in recognition of historical change,
here are last year’s cartoons… updated
Enjoy the Christmas Holiday Weekend
It’s gonna be a tad nippy for the next few days.
Take this.
Or, if you need some company
like you’d get if you invited me over

And now I don’t believe Bill Whittle attended that show
Always liked and trusted Bill Whittle. He’s never given me reason to doubt him;
and what he said is compatible with what I know about mentalism;
but now that I know he knows how to do it, how can I completely trust his story?
There’s a big difference between calling someone a dadburned liar and
merely stamping “plausible but unverified” on the information they provide.
[taps ash off cigar, sips drink, leans back, closes eyes, grins the grin of the easily entertained]
Thanks, Bill.
I enjoyed that.
Cool story, bruh.
