A Saturday Snicker

Steven Hayward has his weekly collection of cartoons, captioned photos, and general snark posted at Power Line. Not that they’re inferior this week, but I have time only to describe my very favorite:

We see a Forest Service-type poster with Smokey Bear in ranger hat and blue jeans, holding a shovel down in the lower left corner. Behind him is a Dutch old master painting of a monk sitting in a big chair beside a table with a bunch of flowers on it. The caption is, IMHO, a priceless play on words.
Never buy flowers from a monk.
Only YOU can prevent florist friars.
If you don’t love that poster you just don’t appreciate wordplay.
