Jester and the Purple Hag

Jester invited the purple hag to dine. She noticed his weird nasty ugly whine. She gives him voice lessons. In twenty-eight sessions. Their partnership is delicate and fine.

Oh my, you noticed it, too? I've been avoiding Jester for a long time because of his nasal whine. Can't stand it. Grates on me like nails on a chalkboard (sorry, we had them when I was teaching).

We have a teacher who calls the names of all the kids for the parent pick up line every day and I have to shut my walkie talkie off because she is from the original "family of whiners" like the ones on Saturday Night Live in the 70's.
