[QUOTE=rocking chair] perhaps the snow is getting high and they can’t get out of the house, and have to start eating each other… oh, oops! wrong family, wrong country. [/QUOTE] Which gives me an excuse to share [one of my favorite XKCD panels](http://xkcd.com/30/). ---

[QUOTE=Alice The Goon] He’s playing a joke on his daughter, pretending to have cut off one of his fingers. You can see it sticking up when it shows him with his back to the reader. [/QUOTE] You see, that’s what threw me. To me it looks like his finger’s still missing. :eek: ---

[QUOTE=AskNott] If the cartoonist cares to finish the gag, he’ll pretend to find it in the salad. Then he’ll put his hands together, frowning, and there’s his finger, back together and good as new. While she’s marveling over that, he’ll find a loonie in her ear. Years later, she’ll figure out she was fooled, and kill him. [/QUOTE] No, she’s going to kill him for breaking up her family and estranging her from her mother, and screwing her up through her teenage years with his passive-aggressive assholitude. ---
