That link! It’s Scrambled!
These are so good we need a standing ova-tion.
Ok, puns are over! Easy, right?
No, puns will continue.
This will be Custard’s last stand.
Y’all better quit this punnery or I’ll use this clue-by-4 to nog some sense into somebody!! Folks just keep egging me on and egging me on and soon I’ma gonna crack!
Call an eggsterminator.
The worst is that some of the puns are hidden. So you have to go hunting for them, like those bits that people sneak into movies and other art forms that you wouldn’t notice unless you were looking for them.
Eh, “let’s collude with all the other companies producing the same product as us so we can all raise our prices together and increase our profits” is hardly a new or original idea.
Okay, but which came first?
Reminds me of the the old Ron White skit where’s he’s comparing sex with his wife to rodeo and their debate about whether he’d taken the … full … eight … seconds.
Just to be clear, the recently-decided lawsuit referenced here was filed in 2011, and it was concerning wrongdoing from the years 2004-2008. (cite)
Maybe there was price-fixing during the Biden administration, it would not surprise me at all, but this news item is not evidence of it.
So they brought a timer into the bedroom and he taught her the meaning of the phrase “most of the time.”
I recall an earlier version, with a chicken and an egg lying in bed, one with a cigarette and a smug smile and the other annoyed and saying, “well, I guess that settles that question.” There are other versions out there, too. On the theme of cartoons that repeat a joke, I found 4 or 5 variations of “poor Professor Bloggs: published and published, but perished anyway.”
Wasn’t there a line from an Uncle Cecil column about how the chicken had to get laid before the egg could?
She’s got eggs, she knows how to use them
She never begs, she knows how to choose them
She’s holdin’ egg, wonder how to feed them
Would you get behind them if only you could find them
Oh I want 'em, said I got to have 'em
Little bird is alright
The pink panties on the floor really make this cartoon!
Not to veer off weirdly, but that wouldn’t bother me, were I the chicken. My goal is to have the egg come, then I have succeeded at my goal.
Admittedly, that was a weird veer.
The peasants are reaching for their pitchforks over an anti-trust case. Makes a Doper proud.
Lose an anti-trust case and it will cost you triple damages, and damages are not based on dead-weight loss - it’s a much larger base.
Cartels? Collusion? I’m shocked! Adam Smith:
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.
Luckily we passed the right sort of laws in the early 1900s and the practice disappeared ha!
1978 soft-on-crime executive:
“Price agreements between competitors was a way of life. Our ethics were not out of line with what was being done in this company and, in fact, in this industry for a long time. I’ve been in this industry for 32 years, and this situation was not just a passing incident. That’s just the way I was brought up in the business, right or wrong.”
Narrator: “Price fixing is wrong.”
