This classic A&J is from five years ago, 2012. I’d like to take credit for pioneering bathroom humor in the newspaper comics—I should stress bathtub humor—but I can’t. No feature has explored the disrupted bathing experience longer or more often than that storied and staid grand dame of the funnies, Blondie.

An old stand-up routine had a comedian claiming he once rented a Dodge Shadow, but when he got back to where he’d parked it, it was after dark and he couldn’t find it. The next day, he took it back to the agency, and they gave him a Mitsubishi Eclipse. But that wasn’t much better…when he went to get it off the rental lot, he could only look at it through a pin-hole in a piece of cardboard.

When I was trucking I’d put away my phone or turn off the radio/CD player, whatever, whenever more attention was needed for handling heavier traffic, finding an exit, or squeezing around things on my way to a loading dock. As you said, Old Bear, drive first — & second, everything else after that.
Turns out Tulsa had not one but three tornadoes, two 1’s and the 2. Big controversy is that no sirens were sounded.
The area hit is one of Tulsa’s busiest so concensus is thankfulness it hit at late or early morning hour when few were still up or out.
