Another strip pulled from my own life…my wife recently pointed out some type of cheese that was aged in a cave, the response just came out, and I realized I had a recipe for fitting a “your mom” joke on PartiallyClips. I had to research both cheese AND humor to bring this bit of cheesy humor to life (eh? Eh?)
Incidentally, while this is hardly the first PartiallyClips to feature a French waiter, I believe it’s the first to feature one who looks like a friggin’ game show host.

Shouldn’t it be “SO IS YOUR MOM.”?
I enjoy finding ways of using the phrase “sh-t in your hat”, “sh-t in his hat”, and “sh-t in my hat”. Just saying.
I once stayed at a very posh hotel, the “Gaylord International”. I spent an entire evening talking to the guys working at the snack/souvenir shop, discussing the secret shame of peddling chocolate in the bowels of a giant gaylord. Tacky. unrelated. You may have it if you wish, in all of its nougaty goodness.
Bert – No, I’m gonna stick with “was.” “Your Mom was aged in a cave” makes more sense than “your Mom is aged in a cave.” The waiter is referring to the restaurant’s cheese as a whole and cave-aging as an ongoing process, whereas the woman is referring to a specific person and an aging that has, presumably, already occurred.
PNes – I too am a great fan of “Go shit in your hat.” A glorious WWII-era insult that should never have faded from everyday speech. Incidentally, “PNes” = …Paul?

What I like about this is the setup: classic joke of low humor, waiter, soup, item in soup. It’s obviously screaming for “Waiter, your fly is open” or something, but instead there’s an entirely different punchline.
No, Bert is right. It doesn’t matter that “So’s your mom” doesn’t make as much sense; it’s what’s said.
Meh. Just doesn’t work for me.
Indeed I am the Paul.
At first I didn’t think this particular strip was very good, but then it got better.
…Unlike your mom ;p
You needn’t worry. Partially Clips will never be mistaken for literature. Be as low brow as you wish.
