    A Damselle in distress

    A young, pretty and helpless poor girl missed her ferry so I had to convince an eccentric milionaire to give her a ride with his boat.

    One Last Kiss Before Sail

    But dearheart, you do understand sailing a boat is not the same as flying a plane, don't you?

    The Martial Artist

    I was on my way, but a crazy martial arts guy insisted that I sit and watch his full routine. Hey, he had a whole bunch of scary pointy things, so I had to stay and watch.

    TITLE: Overkill Much, Miss Spelvin…?

    “Well, this certainly explains why you’ve been coming in late every day since the lockdown ended. You know, a simple face-covering would have been entirely adequate, and would save a lot of time.  And where the hell is the custodian!?  This place is a mess!

    “He wasn’t considered ‘essential’.”

    “I would beg to differ!”

    Helped a Stranger...


    "Sorry I'm late for work - A couple celebrating their 25th anniversary asked me to snap a picture. The old guy was trying to look all sexy, and that sorta creeped me out.  But then a waitress-slash-actress-slash-student asked to spray paint me and pose for a performance art piece she is doing for drama school.  I was just being nice... and you're going to write me up for being late?..."

    "Oh.  I suppose I shold go home and shower.  Hope I don't run into any strangers needing help."

    ​There's a Hole in my Bucket!

    Hello? Yes, this is Floyd Dazzle. I'm going to be late for my eye appointment. I'm not done painting my cottage. The siding is rough wood, like tree bark and it is covered with moss. My brush is too small and there's a hole in my bucket. But don't worry. I'm still wearing the protective goggles you gave me!

    A Modern Siren

    He had to stop the boat - maybe she needed help?
    But when she started singing, nothing else in the world seemed to matter. Even the grasshopper who had hitched a ride seemed entranced.

    Title: Well, This Morning Commute Went Seriously South in a Hurry…!

     

    “Um…, you probably ought to take the bypass.  Because that thing is liable to booger-up traffic like you cannot even BEGIN to imagine!”

    Pigeon Billpay
    WorldWide ConCom Wireless Communication Services would not accept payments online. They sent bills by carrier pigeon because mail service was unreliable. Ronnie and DumDum tried in vain to explain to the company's toon android representative that they always received bills very late and couldn't possibly pay them on time.

    Dragon Attack

    Honestly, Boss, we set off in good time for work, but while we were walking across the bridge over the ravine there was a dragon attack! We had to take cover until they flew away.

    The Gentlemanly Thing to Do

    So sorry I'm late. I was on the way to meet you, but when I was driving past that fancy hotel I was flagged down by a lady in trouble. I could hardly refuse to help. It was the gentlemanly thing to do.

    Why The Paper Is Always Late

    Too Many Choices

    The Cats
    The cats arrived late, because they are cats. The inn had already closed for the season, but the owner, who liked cats, told the gardner, who liked cats, to give them comfortable lodgings when they arrived.

    Devil's Cage

    Afraid the delivery of the documents you wanted is going to be late. Using the route past the too aptly named, "Devil's Cage" turned out to be a bad idea. Accidently colliding with the giant snake demoness didn't help matters, either.

    How Captain Ed Lost His TV Children's Show
    Captain Ed locked himself in his dressing room for over an hour because of a wardrobe issue. 

    "You want to know why I am late? Because this is not a good idea. I will not wear this! What? No, this is not 'metrosexual.' This is not K-Pop. This is something your mother bought on sale 10 years ago."
