Ostricholitics/Ostrichonomics.

the gallery/last week


I, and the thousands of readers that flock here daily searching for insight and
erudition are still waiting.

For what?


I’ve done it.

You’ve done it?

Of course. I did it on Tuesday. You know me, no sooner said than done.

Tuesday? Were you going to tell us?

I would have got round to it.

We’ve been on tender hooks.

Don’t you mean tent pegs?

No that’s my daughter, she’s going to Barcelona, she wants to sleep in the car and a tent.

A car AND a tent?

There’s five of them.

Whose car?

Mine.

You’re letting your daughter take the car to Barcelona?

I’m hoping it will get stolen and the insurance will buy me a new one.

Ostrichonomics?

That’s it? Where’s the list?

Here. It’s a bit depressing. I laughed at first; then I got angry then depressed. Good luck.

Oh, ok. Any remedy?
