Hump Day Hilarity – Josh on 'The Pause' coming of age

Josh writes:

Today is the official birthday of the pause. James Delingpole says so and he is, as we know, always right – especially when he is quoting BishopHill.

What will the Pause do next? Get a job? Go on a gap year? Maybe go to college and rack up some proper student debt. Who knows, but it’s worth celebrating the good news that the planet’s temperatures are not accelerating to thermageddon.

I raised two boys and one girl. Both boys had the smelliest feet EVA! While the girl was…let’s not go there. Anyway what is it about 18 year old boys and their &%$# feet???????

M’Lady, rejoice in the fact that you ARE a “lady” …
Boys? Teen-Age boys?
Well, at some point in life, they need to get handed over to a (competent and knowledgeable) drill sergeant or chief petty officer (depending on whether or not they float) and get the pink kicked out of them while they get their hands (and feet) very, very dirty whilst earning a wage.
Somewhere in the middle of that dirt and hardship and smelly toes, they turn into something you can trust your girls to.

My 60+ year-old feet don’t smell to bad these days. A lot better than when they were 18. Then again, perhaps changing my socks daily instead of once a week helps….

Yes. ‘clean socks every day’ is the key.

The good news is that the Pause is now old enough to vote in November Elections.
I wonder how log it will be before we hear that the Pause was caused by “Global Warming” or that the Pause is “Proof” of Global Warming.

Kids need to oppose their parents, right? (Or is it “oppause”?) So young Pause will probably vote against the present president’s party.
You can’t have a Pause without having a Cause (that’s a nice slogan for the Greens?), for the pause. Therefore, any pause in global warming must ultimately stem from global warming, and that’s why global warming is the cause of its own pause. (Try saying that very quickly after a few beers.). Without global warming, there would not have BEEN any pause!

Oh the pause is already proof of global warming. Its ‘unpredendented global weather’ just like they warned you about.

Josh got it right except he needs bell-bottom jeans.
Oh wait, that was the 70s….

If only Josh’s cartoon could be shown to everyone in the world. Millions would be dumbfounded and incredulous. Millions would google “the pause” and see for the first time what has been kept from them.
If only . . .
