Nuke the Punchline - Too Big for its Britches

Harvey over at IMAO has posted a new straight line of the day, so it is time to choose the winners of the last one:

A New Concept Drone Can Fly, Swim, Drive, and Hop. What It Can’t Do…

Sandia National Laboratories

126 responses. Geeeez! I had a terrible time narrowing it down. I think you guys (and Harvey) like making me work hard or something ;) Hmmm. How should I get you back?...

#11 Bob in Feenicks:…get no satisfaction.

#10 rodney dill: …fix ObamaCare

#9 Burt: ...twerk.

#8 FormerHostage:…match wits with a Sicilian when death is on the line.

#7 Les: …is fly, swim, drive, or hop. It was designed by the same folks who brought you Obamacare.

#6 Da**Cat:…open the pod bay doors.

#5 HokieGomer: …convince a Kennedy they have had enough to drink.

#4 Conservatarian:…navigate beyond the home screen of healthcare.gov

#3 E Pluribus Unum: ..pull off a 4g *inverted* dive and take a polaroid shot.

#2 Bob B.:…the Hokey-Pokey.

And my favorite straight lines of the day were from Steve H:

A New Concept Drone Can Fly, Swim, Drive, and Hop. What It Can’t Do… stop every so often during its busy schedule and call his sick mother once in a while, Mr. “I'm-So-Important-I-Work-For-the-government” can’t check in on poor old Mom who never gets so much as a visit or even a nice card on mother’s day, not even one of those cheap cards from the five-and-dime, no sir, that would be asking too much…

 Cookies to Steve H!

and today's best kiss uppers were Jimmy, walruskkkch, rodney dill, Steve H and Dohtimes:

A New Concept Drone Can Fly, Swim, Drive, and Hop. What It Can’t Do…

Jimmy: …obvious!! Bake cookies!!

walruskkkch:… Bake cookies like Anonymiss can!
...obtain Anonymiss’ secret recipe for the best cookies evah!

rodney dill:…selectively destroy cookies containing walnuts

Steve H:  resist Anonymiss’s cookies.
… help Anonymiss paw through all of these entries.

Dohtimes:…have it’s cake and eat its cookies too, unless they are peas and carrots cookies.

Kiss up Cookies to Jimmy,
walruskkkch, rodney dill,
Steve H and Dohtimes!

My favorite line from yesterday was from Bob in Feenicks:


If depression accelerates aging...Nancy Pelosi will be needing more plastic surgery thanks to Obamacare.
