Happiness is Curly as Field Marshall Herring saying "it's now in the middle of Novonder and we ain't there yet!"

Dictator Heilstone: "Now, that we have captured all of Starvania, we must take Great Mitten!"

Field Marshall Herring: "Yah-Yah!"

Dictator Heilstone: "Yah!"

Minister of Propaganda: "Yah, you were gonna Blitz-Kreeg Great Mitten by the middle of August!"

Field Marshall Herring: "Then you said, Septober, then Octember, it's now in the middle of Novonder, and we ain't there yet!"

Dictator Heilstone: "Well, Novonder, I didn't say what year!"

Minister of Propaganda: "I don't understand it, it's only twenty miles!"

Field Marshall Herring: "Yeah, I could skip it!"

Dictator Heilstone: "Then, skip it!"

A little humor to kick off November

IN NOVEMBER

The naked hills lie wanton to the breeze;

The fields are nude, the groves unfrocked;

Bare are the shivering limbs of shameless trees --

What wonder that the corn is shocked?

-- Ed Mott, Puck Magazine, 1888
