Mary Worth 3557

Saul didn't get as big a laugh at his broken-hip joke as he expected.

Well, I may have been too lazy to flesh out a parody of Fresh Prince of Bel Air yesterday, but somebody else named jroggs did an admirable job of same over at the Comics Curmudgeon's comments of the week section. Check it out.

Eve: "My late husband... he used to deliberately trip me."

Saul: "Oh, a real trickster, eh? But I don't understand why you're crying, Eve. He sounds like he was a fun guy. In fact, I used to do the same thing to my wife!"

“Good thing I caught you! It’s a long way down, and I’m guessing you weigh at least 170!”

Correction, Saul: Eve didn’t trip, Max jerked his leash. Maybe Eve jerked her late husband’s leash one time too often.

"I'm crying because I miss the way my husband used to trip me. Good times!"

Got two words of caution for you Saul. High maintenance.

What does that have to do with headless mannequins, Eve?

Eve: “I’ll never forget the last time my late husband tripped me. I was carrying a plate of sizzling hot scrapple in one hand and the ancient samurai sword my sainted father brought back from Japan after WWll in the other, and then he tripped me...”

Saul: “Oh, my stars! What happened next?”

Eve: “Well, Max took care of the scrapple, didn’t you- good boy! But my late husband Louie- it was far too late for him...”

Saul: “What happened?!!”

Eve: “Well, he said ‘You’re no fun anymore, Eve!’, jumped on the Girard Trolley, and I never saw him again.”

This has been the latest installment of Ultimately Disappointing Plotlines Theater. Next week, a Sharknado appears directly offshore from Santa Royale.

Brilliant comments, all, including Mr. Wanders', of course.

I'll say one thing for Charterstone -- it has the most empathetic animals I've ever seen. They look like they're going to start crying too.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I don't have the creativity to come up with something funny about that though.

I wonder how the headless mannequins come in. He tripped her one too many times so she metaphorically lost her head and literally took his off? Was he named Ichabod Crane?

I don't want to blame the victim, but ....
Eve's husband is dead and she's still tripping.

Saul has had a heck of a year for weeping women... Summer with a grieving teenager and now a neighbor triggered by domestic violence memoris. I don't think even Eddie Vedder can help Eve out, but I know who can!!
