Immaculate Deceptions

Theo: “There’s one thing that really bothered me about those old Popeye cartoons.” Caedmon: “I know that I’m going to regret asking why, but a sense of fatalism compels me.”
Theo: “Well, it’s about the character of Olive Oyl.” Caedmon: “What about her?” Theo: “I’m wondering if she was extra-virgin.”
Caedmon absorbs the impact of the pun.
Caedmon: “I suppose you have an explanation for the existence of Swee’ Pea?” Theo: “No doubt an extra virgin birth.” Caedmon: “Betcha can’t have just one…”

It’s things like this that keep me up at night. Like that Minute Maid commercial where Popeye and Bluto appear to have reconciled their differences, much to Olive Oyl’s distress. Wondering what sort of patients were kept on the Montgomery Ward. Being concerned that Doctors Without Borders put an end to that book store chain. What do I do if I’m driving at high speed down the Interstate and something goes wrong with the glove box? Do I need to have gloves in the glove box to pass state inspection requirements? It’s no wonder I never get any sleep…
