Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for April 21, 2018

Edgar appears to have a bad case of OCD.

Is this on the level? Everyone is at least a bit eccentric on Ballard Street

I am so glad neither my parents nor my teachers had one of those things….

it would have added fuel to all the admonishments to “sit up straight.”

It seemed to be an obsession back in the 50’s …

children must be sitting up straight.

Was it a carryover from all the military pride during WWII?

I’m a natural born sloucher… prone to bounce, and to squirm….

tilt my head, talk with my hands….

Gosh…. Edgar would be having a field day.

But, like Margaret…over the years I’ve learned to ignore it…

I mean, really, whatsit to ya?

Margaret always was a little “off”.

He is plumb crazy to do this

Is his name ‘Bob’?

But it’s not the end of the world.

Gee, you’re a peach, Bob…errr, maybe you’re a plumb.

He came from a country with a very strict ruler. He started his career in the farmland, as a pro-tractor repair man.

“Get bent, Edgar!”

Go level your self Edgar!

You seem to be standing rather off plumb, Edgar.

Show me the calibration certificate for that thing, Edgar.

Must be one of the last Masons.. Obviously the craft has gone downhill… a lot.

Is that on the level?
