Holy smokes! How did you get a picture of me 30 years from now?
Rodge, you wanted captions, right?
Wellll, you're gettin' a few:
• Harry found he could see over the wheel a lot better when he sat on his wife's lap.
• Irving hadn't been late in twenty years. Fifty dollars a week as a towel boy at Inga's Women's Gymnastics Spa wasn't much, but it was all he could afford.
• Harold sped off urgently looking for that new street market.
• Al was tired of tailgaters honking at 'im, so he put his turn signal on and slowed down.
• Wilmur thought to himself that, after a few drinks tonight, the car seemed a lot easier to drive. Then he remembered that his car was a stick shift.
• Gerald longed for the days when he could babysit his grandkids and go out for a couple drinks without them makin' all that racket in the trunk.
• Sometimes when Jerome came up to a busy crosswalk, he'd have flashbacks about pushing his Sherman tank through the hedgerows of Normandy.
• Sid always looked forward to getting home and chasing kids off his lawn.
• Leo sat there for a while staring at the long line of mailboxes. Then something just snapped.
• Jumping the half-open drawbridge had been a fantasy of Ichabod's for years; but, today, when no one was in the way, his wife wasn't with him, so he told himself there'd be another day.
• Orville hated Priuses, and there was one ahead of him waiting at the railroad crossing gate. The whistle was really close, now.
Brevity is the soul of wit.

Casca, 10!
No offense to the witty Doug M intended.
A joke can be as brief as ... not reading it.
• Wit is over-rated. (brevity)
• If brevity is wit's soul, then shaggy-dog is wit's expanded aura. (occult)
• Wit? We don't got no wit. We don't need no wit. We don't have to show you no stinkin' wit! (cinematic)
• Without wit, one can only be ... a critic. (theatric)
• Enlightenment comes from discovering wit's true brevity cleverly hidden within a long joke. (Zen)
(What? *shh* They were buyin' it.)

Besides, the guy who said that line in "Hamlet," Polonius, was an officious, garrulous, and impertinent busy-body and a "tedious old fool."
Oh, yeah, and he's killed by a rapier in the arras.
(Sorry, got carried away. As you can see, sometimes it takes me a longer to get bored with entertainin' myself than it does for others. I truly sympathize with 'em, though. It won't happen again on this post.)
DougM, if this were fb I'd click the like button. If only for that final sentence.
Getting stabbed in the arras would make it hard to sit down.
Doug, I often apply that rule. I find that on long airline flights, it's best to be the guy who is a couple drinks ahead.
