Their, children, see? Spelling is important! If he’d spelled it “HEPL” he’d still be there.

He should have called me and I would have lowered a rope to him and pulled him, then taken him to Ferrell’s donuts for coffee and donuts in Santa Cruz...

I drove right by him on Sunday as I was returning from Barbara’s Fishtrap in Half Moon Bay after my favorite Fish and Chips w/ Clam Chowder.

You should take him to Humble Sea for a beer. I haven’t been to Barbara’s for a while. You need to try the Scrumptious Fish & Chips food truck in Santa Cruz, it’s amazing.

Coulda saved some effort by spelling “SOS”.

But then then he woulda run the risk of some millenial in the chopper not knowing what that meant.

i found about Humble Sea when I sold Hangar One Vodka our services and the manager of Humble Sea on Alameda was friends of theirs and called me up to help.

Thanks! I read some long article about the Far Side. What made a lot of the jokes funny was the implied, but not stated end result of the joke.
