Same Bar, Different Joke
A follow-up to an epic priest, rabbi, and gorilla item published last month
This is yet another fine entry in the Short & Weird October contest. If it wins I’ll ask that the winning picture be donated to the Guggenheim, the Gagosian, or any other art gallery beginning with the letter G. Sending anything remotely political across borders in this day-and-age isn’t recommended.
This is a follow-up to an item I had published on S&W last month (see below)
The donkey was fed up. The muddled masses were suffering, but no one seemed to care. She’d talked to thousands of humans, subhumans, and anthropomorphized critters. All agreed it was time to do something. The Great Trumpkin had stolen the pumpkin patch; it was time to steal it back.
Few had heeded her call. They were busy fighting climate change, which was made more difficult because no such thing existed. Also, they were consumed by the nail-biting drama of the Major League Baseball playoffs and the pile-driving mayhem of football.
Not to mention they were obsessed by Obsession and riveted to their seats by those marvellous movies. And, of course, the scheming geniuses of Survivor. Best season…
