💸 It can INFECT a business…the word it’s used loosely,
We see here that Dave’s manager has def been BUSILY…
Trying to cover up his tracks…a STYLE all his own,
But SUNNY days may have turned gray… the chickens have come home
He’s charged things to the club it seems and now he must confess…
The auditors not laughing with this…his FUNNY BUSINESS! 💸
Comedy…A FUNNY BUSINESS…but like anything else, when it comes down to paying taxes?…It can be ACCRUAL world!
So…Today we find ourselves in the offices of the Hoyt Comedy Club, at least one would think it’s an office, with the desk and all…but there’s a mic on a stand there also…so I’m not sure who set the STAGE for this one….And for a moment I thought maybe the place was owned by David’s Dad, Russell…but from the portrait logo pictured on the poster, and on the shirt of Gus, the manager, we see that it is David. So it’s safe to say that RUSSELL’S SPROUT has ventured into the Comedy Business…Who knew? Where does he find the time? Maybe that’s why this puzzle seems a little OVERDUE…But I’m sure he’s unaware of what’s going on…although this may now SPELL it out for him…Anyway…We see Gus sweating, on ACCOUNT of the IRS Agent’s questioning about his shoddy bookkeeping, suSPECting that there’s something FUNNY going on with the BUSINESS…If we look closely, RECEIPT pieces of paper strewn into a binder…and figures written willy-SILLY in a ledger…And right now it looks like it’s a hot tub that has him hot under the collar…Charged to the business, but located at his home? And written off as a therapeutic medical expense?…It just doesn’t ADD UP…Let’s see him try to keep his head above WATER with this one…that’ll be a LAUGH for sure! Nope…I doubt this will end well…and maybe Gus AUDIT just call it a day…Because the BOTTOM LINE here today? Doesn’t matter whether you’re in the BUSINESS of being FUNNY or not…when it comes to the IRS? You just can’t HUMOR these guys….FUNNY BUSINESS … https://tinyurl.com/38pn3syf is no LAUGHING matter to them…
…And playing at the Club this week is a good friend to both David and Jeff, Nate Bargatze, https://tinyurl.com/yc6zjseh seen here in one of his favorite hoodies….and who’s APPEARED in our puzzles many times before. He’s heard making a joke about being paid with McDonald’s money…and if you look closely you can see the Golden Arch on the bills in his hand. And what’s FUNNY, is that he does frequent McDonald’s, as you can hear him tell Jimmy Fallon in a January appearance on the “Tonight Show”… https://tinyurl.com/2p8vjst7 Nate recently filmed his latest record-breaking comedy special, “Hello World”, https://tinyurl.com/4bakf67m which can be seen on Amazon Prime…and just two weeks ago, on his Be Funny Tour, he drew over 19 thousand fans at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, breaking the venue’s all-time attendance record. Trust me, if you’ve never sat through one of his shows, listening to the sweet dulcet tones of that honey-dripping Tennessee accent…you don’t know what you’re missing…Check him out. You’ll definitely come away a fan…
So…There you have it, Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…And I think this post has taken on a bit of a LONG FORM this morning…so I’ll skip my usual closing joke…I have a feeling you might not DEPRECIATE it anyway…💸🙋🏻♀️

🐝 With the day being so warm and SUNNY, she was BUSILY trying to alter the STYLE of the gazebo, but everything came to an abrupt halt when the not so FUNNY BUSINESS of a bee sting looked guaranteed to INFECT her…🐝
🤦🏻♂️ Afraid a virus did INFECT his laptop he was stressed,
His SUNNY disposition and his sense of STYLE hard pressed…
His tech guy now so BUSILY fine-combing through the files,
He knows he needs some patience ‘cause it’s sure to take a while
He thought he was so careful…but now to be in this mess?
It’s killing him…he’s not one to deal with FUNNY BUSINESS…🤷🏻♂️
🤷🏻♂️ With a man who’s as honest as he,
One feels badly to see what we see…
David’s in for a shock,
Will this put him in hock?
(Now THAT’S funny…between you and me)! 🤷🏻♂️
🤦🏻♂️ Gus has really got into a jam,
He’s in trouble with our Uncle Sam…
Keeping two sets of books?
And now it surely looks….
That he’s been caught for running a scam!🤦🏻♂️
💸 Nate Bargatze signed on for a gig,
Unaware the finances were rigged…
And now he’s out his dough,
After doing his show…
So he might just be flipping his wig! 💸
🤷🏻♂️David hired Gus to run the place,
But with keeping such a hectic pace…
He failed to take a look,
At the books that Gus cooked…
And the spending he tried to erase! 🤷🏻♂️
👋🏻 Here’s to hoping a good CPA,
Is brought on board to start a new day…
But right now things look grim…
All because Gus did skim…
And for sure it’s adieu his heyday! 👋🏻
What a wonderful way to end the week ! The anagrams were easy peasy ! And the jumble , when I saw the letters after I read the solution , I immediately saw FUNNY BUSINESS ! We had a great week of jumbles ! A couple were tough , but I really enjoy doing them ! And I really enjoy this jumble family and Angela to keep a good structure going ! And I always appreciate your ending joke ! Everyone have a nice weekend and keep the laughter going !!!!!
Tks, Jim 💸🙋🏻♀️
Tis one of those Saturday mornings where the Jumble solution just jumps off the page…for an easy blind solve. And the easily unscrambled anagrams followed !! A nice way to end the week. Must go back later and watch the link you sent, Angela. Thanks….sure to be fun.
YW, Terry. 💸🙋🏻♀️
On a roll , another clean sweep of the anagrams and a blind solve of the cartoon without even writing down the letters! Wow!
Though you’re funny, the books must be straight
Or, just think of the chaos you create
A joke and a laugh
Won’t convince IRS staff
That you’re not in a real messy state!
Good morning. An easy one today. When I first looked at the cartoon I drew a blank so I started to assemble the circled letters and then the answer was obvious. Should have been a complete blind solve. Loved your song choice and post Angela. Until tomorrow take care.
