…i know it’s 5 am….
show finished hours ago!!
PEOPLE IN CASTS ARE EVERYWHERE!
Where is he?

To have or… have not?
That’s a very good question
Baby, you’ve got a kid?
Sure!
…
Like ‘em?
Uh, no!
…AND ALL THE FUN SEEMS TO BE GOING
ON AT THE OTHER END OF THE TABLE
Could you pay it?
MORON!
Give me my purse!

WHEN YOU HAVE A MAN
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY TO HIM
RUN, DON’T WALK,
AWAY FROM THESE MEN

WHEN WOMEN FALL IN
LOVE, THEY LEAVE
Get it?

Now I understand…
THE SPINSTER AUNT
YOU GET AILMENTS THAT
YOU DIDN’T EVEN KNOW EXISTED
still have four gray hairs
clinging on…
EATING EVERYTHING JUST TO LOSE
SOME WEIGHT
SUPERMARKET PERILS
Mine’s an instant spray!
