Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 10, 2010

Yea “Pope Bob I” I agree “Check Please!”

Check yourself Bob.

When we serve turkey, the question comes up about who wants the ‘Pope’s Nose?’ Well, Bob’s GOT it!

I’m agreeing with Bob; objective, non-emotional observations come from a disinterested third party. I went to school to study commercial property appraisal and that was the underlying premise.

Bob, bob, bob… bob, bob, I ran…

Or a marriage counselor

Tell him Bob, “you don’t need to know how to swim, to know when somebody’s drowning”.

Bob is a lawyer and the comic I assume takes place in a small town in Maine, so he has to have done divorce work. Therefore, he qualifies as an expert who has seen where a lot of things have gone wrong in a marriage. Perhaps he wants to suggest a prenuptial agreement?

^^But you do need to know how to swim in order to teach someone else how – or to save a drowning swimmer.

Someone should tell these two about “free milk and a cow”

how many times around the block do you have to …? Take the advice

LOL—Yeah, I always wondered how the pope became the universal expert on private matters.

Just throw a wad of cash on the table and make a run for it Joe!

As a parent, I’ve always found the BEST parenting advice comes from people who have NEVER been parents…

They ALWAYS know what you SHOULD HAVE done, and what THEY would have done if they were you…

Cleokaya: Not sure if others got the tune to your post (Naturally, I did). and…

Any “Arrested Development” fans had to think of Bob Loblaw when you “said” it.

Wiley: There were two comics about sarcasm today - Coincidence after all the references here the other day?

Holy bleeep, No comments from the Okie?

Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent. Nietzsche

@cdward - drowning swimmer?

So I misread this as “the PEOPLE.” Maybe even funnier…

I wonder how much longer before the new wife puts an end to Joe having going out for a beer with his brother?

I’m glad that someone (Hugh B. Hayve for one) recognized the false logic. Objectivity and expertise are two different things. And Hugh’s analogy (swimming vs drowning) is perfect, cdward’s objection notwithstanding. Many are the mistakes I’ve made by not taking my own advice from the time before I got involved in a situation.

Yeah, like a married man is going to know how to make a decision.

so jscarey, are you saying, you don’t need to know s**t to put in your two cents worth, and you went to school for that? yeah, sounds like a realtor. richard, i’m liking your point of view more and more. kevinm, that’s only the first year. after that they can’t wait for you to get out of the house so they can have some me time…..and i can’t blame them. lew, neither are married. oh, you’re just making a confession. Great strip today, Wiley! standing on the other side of the bar the way i do, you’d be surprized how much useless knowledge abounds.

OK, if no one else is going to say it , I guess it’s left to me to politicize it. LOL

“So you don’t need any experience to be an expert.”

Remind anyone of any sitting president of the United States?

Sorry, I just couldn’t resist stirring the pudding.

Wildcard and Lewreader, so on target! Good strip Wiley - this could also apply to congress making technical decisions for us, as in health care, space shuttle, which way is up, etc.

Every 12 year old i ever met knows what’s best for them, so I have to say , “Yes.” to Joe. He can ask Danae, she’ll tell him.

Respecting my avatar: In “The Bear”, Faulkner wrote that “women are born knowing what men take a life time to learn.” The problem is they aren’t born as very good teachers.

@ Wildcard24365,

Then, (if and) when they have kids of their own, they do the same things their parents did.

I’ve not had kids of my own, but I have lived long enough to see that happen with other people.

Well, you dont need being in middle of a Hurracane or twister for knows its destrucutive power. That is similar to marriage. :)

Bachelors making marriage policy, like men making abortion policy, is like mermaids making shoes.

Joe doesn’t want Bob’s advice about the marriage and he wants to get out of the bar, cafe or whatever!

Advice about marriage is sorta like: “If you save a drowning man, you save his life for a day. If you teach that man to swim, there’s no guarantee that he won’t be run over by the crosstown bus tomorrow!” I say just sit back and count the bubbles…

X is the unknown, and spurt is a drip under pressure. Hence: “expert”

Dope yes, Pope, probably not – tho last time I checked Popes don’t get married either.

Pretty soon it will be “Checkmate”? No, I don’t think so.

Wildcard – then they post their advice on “For Better of for Worse”

kevin, you have mermaids in a sweat shop?

I’ll ask the pope when I need infos how to cover up paedophilia on a major scale.
