The Stopper

“Where’s the stopper?” he said.

She looked at him. “The what?”

“The stopper, the stopper.” He was moving as he spoke, looking around the sofa and tables.

“You mean the television clicker?”

“Yes, the clicker, the remote, where is it?”

“Here.” She handed it to him. As he muted the television, she said, “Why’d you call it the stopper?”

“I had to stop from hearing that commercial,” he said, sinking back into his chair with a sigh.

Whether

You ever look out the window to check the weather, and then check the weather online, and wonder whether the weather online is the weather for your area – or maybe it’s the wrong day – because it just doesn’t match?

Yeah.

Reversed

You ever think about the beginning of “Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer?” “You know Dasher and Dancer…etc…Blitzen. But do you recall? The most famous reindeer of all?”

Isn’t that reversed? Wouldn’t you know the most famous of reindeer, and recall it more readily than the rest?

 

Cats

Don’t you hate it when you’re talking to your cat, and they look at you, like, I don’t even know what language you’re speaking, when you know very well that they know exactly what you’re saying?

Yeah, me, too.

Winter Solstice’s Bumper Sticker

This one cracked me up, with echoes of “Red Dwarf” to it. I can imagine Kryten saying, “The future is now. No, wait, now that’s the past. Now it’s the future. Darn, missed it again. You’ve got to be quicker, sir.”
