Categotry Archives: Jack and Jill
The Birdman of Alka Seltzer
Tina: Whatchah eating? Theodor: It’s an experiment. I took tissue samples from a certain primate and cultured them, manipulated the recombinant DNA, added a little cocci, mule, bird, man, and some cabbage, then re-cultured. Then I fried the whole thing with some salt, pepper, and mushroom. Tina: Well, it’s got nothing to do with me. Doesn’t look tasty at all. Theodor: Really? I think it looks exquisite.

Fuzzy Pancake

Pillow Talk
Theodor: Yes, I know Jack doesn’t want you in the house; but don’t worry. I have a plan. He’ll never know you’re here. Previously in Jack and Jill: Fledgling CEO The theme for this week’s Jack and Jill is “pillow” as suggested by Heather Want to see what I can do with a word or phrase? Make a suggestion.
Fledgling CEO
Jill: Theodor, did you say something to Jack about his job hunt? He’s been behaving strangely lately. Theodor: We did discuss his predicament. I suggested he go into business for himself, perhaps in something in the way of transportation. Jill: You didn’t tell him he could fly, did you?
Let’s Try Science
Jill: I’m sorry Jack. You’re boss won’t listen to me. You’re still fired. Jack: At least you tried. Frankly, I think he’s been looking for an excuse to fire me for a while now anyway. But what are we going to do? Jill: We’re going to have to rent out the spare room again. Jack: It looks like a science experiment in there. Who would want to rent it?
Arround the World in a Day
Jill: You’re playing that airplane game again? What happened to talking about your boss about driving a taxi again? Jack: I did talk to him. Jill: And? Jack: He said I could come back as soon as a week had two Thursdays. I could work the second Thursday. Jill: Argh! That means your fired for good! Jack: Not necessarily. Remember when we went to Mongolia? We gained a day. But we don’t have the money to go back, so I’m […]
Passing gas as a game
(In case you missed it before, Jack is a taxi driver.) Jill: You’re home from work awfully early. What happened. Jack: I was fired. Jill: Fired!? Why? Jack: It all started when one of the guys ran out of gas. I organized a rescue effort. All the other guys had fares, but we all stopped as we passed each other and handed off this gallon of gas. A gallon should be enough to get the guy back to the garage, […]
Work Ethic
Jill: Honey, when are you going to go back to work? Jack: It’s been too long. I’m rusty. Jill: It isn’t something you’re going to forget overnight. Jack: I need practice. See? I’m doing it right now. Jill: That’s the wrong kind of taxi driving, and you know it. Previously in Jack and Jill: Alternative Means The theme for this week’s Jack and Jill is “taxi” as suggested by Brian Miller Want to see what I can do with a […]
Alternative Means
Aunt Gertrude: You mother said she was going on vacation, so you won’t have to worry about her for a while, but I don’t know where. Jill: Really? Did she say what she was going to do? Aunt Gertrude: Sledding, apparently. Jack: So she must be in South America, or maybe Australia. Aunt Gertrude: Well, maybe. But she built a ramp. I’m pretty sure they won’t let you bring a ramp on an airplane. Jack and Jill unanimously: Uh-oh.
Roadkill Stew
Tina: Hey! Something wrong with my peace offering? Aunt Gertrude: I wouldn’t eat that if I were you. Jack: Wasn’t planning on it. Jill: Why not? Aunt Gertrude: She’s been driving up and down the highways a lot lately. Jill: Oh. I’m not hungry. Previously in Jack and Jill: Say Cheese The theme for this week’s Jack and Jill is “Roadkill stew” as suggested by The Walking Man Want to see what I can do with a word or phrase? […]
Say Cheese
Tina (muttering to herself): Try and keep me out, will you? I’ll get some embarrassing pictures and blackmail you into letting me in! It shouldn’t be hard. It’s not like you belong in the kitchen in the first place. Now say cheese!
The Best Way to Get It Done
Jill: So I got this great idea for how to promote the book I wrote. I’ll make a little movie out of the first scene. Jack: Where will you get the actors? Jill: I’ll do it myself. And I’ll write and play the music for it, and direct it and produce it. Jack: What’s the book about? Jill: Barbra Streisand. Previously in Jack and Jill: Grapes of Wroth The theme for this week’s Jack and Jill is “Barbra Streisand” as […]
Grapes of Wroth
Aunt Gertrude: So when do you think Tina can move back in with you? Jack: When willows bear grapes. Jill: What is mother trying to do? Jack: I believe she’s trying to make us fall for it, but she’ll be the one to end up with sour grapes. Previously in Jack and Jill: Daughter of Satin The theme for this week’s Jack and Jill is “When willows bear grapes.” as suggested by Brian Miller Want to see what I can […]
Daughter of Satin
Jill: Honey, could you go out to the car and bring in my mother, satin. Jack: No! Anything but that! Jack: Oh, wait. You mean you mother’s fabric? Yeah. Sure. Jill: What did you think I said? Jack muttering: Don’t ask. Previously in Jack and Jill: Out With the Old The theme for this week’s Jack and Jill is “satin” as suggested by Talon Want to see what I can do with a word or phrase?
