My favorite here is number 6 down by Bill King. I’ve never seen the proverbial ‘rainy day’ people still try to save for visually depicted, instead of hearing the usual figure of speech. The husband’s nonchalant facial expression says the fact it’s raining cats and dogs (with no umbrellas) apparently still isn’t severe enough for him to spring for a taxi.
Number 9 is wonderful. Her check book does balance (sort of) after all, right?
