Used husband! Hah! Good one! … as opposed to the “Cornered.”
No blindfold guy has apparently already been shot in the forehead?
The truth has its pants off because it was sleeping. Get your minds out of the gutter!
I’ve never before seen the adage about lies and truth refer to pants; usually the truth has to put on its boots or shoes. Also, it was being told before Churchill was born.
Powers, I think it’s just an oddly bulging eyebrow ridge. But I am also puzzled in the logic, or the tradition – – a firing squad doesn’t aim for the head, do they?
I liked this Nick G. one also, after a run of them (on GoComics) where I thought I might be missing the point with the comic isolated from the advice column.
I know that a plea of “no contest” is not exactly the counterpart of a jury verdict of “not proven”, but it is traditionally said that that verdict was available in Scottish courts, and both have a feeling of avoiding clear cut decision.
Didn’t Chekhov use the line in a story (which doesn’t guarantee it originated with him)?
Garson O’Toole sourced the “lie will travel halfway around the earth…” quote back to at least 1821 with different but recognizable language, and the basic idea (without much language matching) back to at least 1710 (by Jonathan Swift).

“Juvenile Court” reminded me of this gem from a few weeks ago. It was a prank by a couple comedians, but funny nonetheless! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G463FOZMs0
