We can drill and practice but we'll never be as good at this as the Army of Father Time. It'll keep on marching no matter what happens. |

Part of Neptune's job is doing performance reviews. He said the octopus is a great multitasker and the dolphin has outstanding communication skills. If given a meaty project to work on, the shark will really sink its teeth into it. The jellyfish received a poor review because he's just aimlessly drifting in his career. And the eel is being promoted to management. He's a terrific motivator. He gets everybody charged up. |

Sisyphus at a job interview. I see you're very persistent but not much of a multi-tasker. |

These guys are going to have some kind of contest. (Musical note.) Let's see who sings the best. (Question mark.) No. Let's play "Jeopardy." All answers must be in the form of a question. (Exclamation point.) Whatever we do, I'll be the most enthusiastic!! (Ampersand.) Can we form partnerships? (Dollar sign.) Is there any prize money? (Percentage symbol.) What are the chances of winning? (Asterisk.) Winning's not that important. With me here, winning will be marked as not wholly legitimate! |

Dog Training. Most of the choices the dogs made for their book reports are logical. The labrador retriever chose "Catch-22." The terrier, who loves to dig, chose "Journey to the Center of the Earth." The basset hound is doing his on "The Howling." and the shar-pei picked "A Wrinkle in Time." But the dachshund's choice confuses me. Even with the ground-hugging physique, he selected "Wuthering Heights." |

The inmate team will be weak running the bases this year. These guys get caught attempting to steal. The money launderer is the obvious choice to hit cleanup. Prisoners convicted of conspiracy are good team players - they'll bunt if needed. And the con man guilty of fraud will be the ace on the mound. Yeah, people always fall for his deceptive pitch! |

Superhero Academy. They named you "Reject Man"? Yeah, I got all the powers rejected by quality control. I wanted the ability to leap over buildings but instead I just jump to conclusions. I have no martial arts skills. I can only kick up a fuss. I don't bend and extend like Plasticman. I just stretch the truth. And I wanted the ability to pass through walls, but as a superhero I'm only able to go through the motions. |

I asked people to name a well-known "Frank" who most often comes to mind when they think about you. I never heard singer "Frank Sinatra." Nor did I hear architect "Frank Lloyd Wright." I'll bet people said "Franklin Roosevelt" because of my leadership abilities! No, no, wait! Everybody remembers the home run I hit in softball. I must remind people of baseball hall of famer "Frank Thomas"! Ohh, so close! The "Frank" which comes to mind when people think about you is also found at ballparks! Spring Training. FRANKS! |

Sometimes economists come to counter-intuitive conclusions. That happened when Professor Ernie did a case study on a small city. They have a thriving top-notch medical center which was adding lots of surgical staff. Firms prepping diamonds for jewelry and movie-editing companies are relocating to the city. And the sawmill was adding a shift. Now hiring. His seemingly illogical conclusion now makes sense. With "cutting jobs" they saw increased levels of employment! |

We're making progress building a staff for the palace. The king's lawyer and accountant has sealed lips, of course. Putting a big heart in the charity foundation chief, and building the gardener with a green thumb were excellent choices, Ernie. But the entertainers sill need some fixes. The jester doesn't have a funny bone. I'm nobody's fool. And you have the minstrel a tin ear! Oops. |

Ernie spins the expert's analysis of his boxing skills. He noted that I have great footwork! No, he said you're always "running for your life." I was praised for my courage, never "ducking" an opponent. He meant you're easy to hit. I'm most proud of being described as an artist in the ring. BAM. Actually, he said Ernie "spends a lot of time on the canvas." |

The woman Frank's dating said he's like a computer. That's nice. Maybe she said that because of his logical mind. Or that he can handle multiple tasks at one time. Or because he can provide lots of information about any topic. No, she said none of those things are true about Frank. She thinks he's like a computer because when she stops paying attention to him, he goes right to sleep. ZZZZ. |

Adding people with a background in music has made the team better. The new hitting coach is just like clarinet player Benny Goodman. Benny Goodman was "The King of Swing"! Nobody is better with that instrument than this guy. That's why he's playing first bass! The rock star with bat cleanup for the team. He'll have some big hits this year! And the opera singer will be the new ace on the mound. Thanks to the perfect pitch! |
