The Old Ball Bearing Joke

Granted, I stole this old Army gag to make this week's panel, but it's a classic joke. It's also drill weekend once again for me. I'll try not to lose too many ballbearings.

Granted, I stole this old Army joke about placing a private in a an empty room with three ball bearings. In some ways, it’s eerily accurate. Unsupervised privates seem to make a mess of almost anything in their vicinity, then deny any knowledge of how it got that way. They are basically like little kids.

UPDATED VERSION:

It’s been a few years since I first published this panel, and I felt it needed a bit of a brushing up. Here’s a link to the newer version’s page.

I know what you're thinking... 'cause I'm thinking it too: Man this isn't really knee slapping comedy. But before you pass judgment, keep in mind that I'm actually pretty slow. By the time I come up with something timely and funny, eleven other people on the internet have already said it before me, and probably worded it better.

Whale Spotting

I feel bad for the people, but I see them in grocery stores all the time and keep thinking that they seriously need to avoid the grocery and anyone else who might try to provide them with food. It's like this: If you're too fat to walk, you absolutely need to make a radical change in your life.
