Please help me “get” today’s Mister Boffo. It is just beyond my ken.
Piano bar, guy at piano accepts tips, patrons usually request particular songs, guy putting $$ in is asking for tunes as if they were on a juke box. Not very funny IMHO.
J-12
B-21
G-15
Handing money to a live musician and requesting songs as they would be listed on a jukebox.
Glad he didn’t request B-17…
Agreed, this isn’t one of the better strips today.
Mister Boffo is mistaking the lounge piano player for a jukebox. He’s putting money into the tip jar and requesting particular songs the way he’d put money into a jukebox and push the buttons.
- Someone also unclear on the concept.
Ohhhhh – I get it now. I couldn’t get bingo out of my head, even after I realized the letters (and numbers) didn’t fit. Thanks, everybody. 
Rrrrright. I didn’t get it either. However, I thought he was reading out raffle tickets, and the last one was the big prize, and he didn’t wait long enough for the pianist to do a kind of “piano” drum roll. Or something like that.
It’s amazing how creatively the human mind will justify things it wants to be funny. I didn’t succeed this time, I’ll admit, but I’ve occasionally come up with better jokes than the one I’d been told in the first place.
