6. Num Me Vexo? From 1988

The source of a 13-year-old prank in stained glass at the University of Washington in Seattle, has been uncovered: The architect did it.
University spokesman Tom Griffin says architect David Wright is responsible for a portrait of George Washington at the school's Health Sciences cafeteria that bears the inscription, "Num Me Vexo?"For non-Latin scholars, that means, "What, Me Worry?" And, yes, it was inspired by Alfred E. Neuman, the grinning, big-eared symbol of Mad magazine. Wright was the designer of the south campus center where the stained glass portrait of Washington hangs.
Griffin's research answered questions raised by a weekly newspaper story that called "Num Me Vexo?" the strangest Latin inscription in Seattle. Griffin said the inscription came about because students wanted a picture of a revolutionary there. Washington was selected and "Num Me Vexo?" was Wright's contribution. Wright said he was pleased his joke was finally discovered.

21. Try clicking on the image

And that takes you to the tweet, where you may have to click on George's image again. The Latin slogan is just underneath his cravat, or whatever that fluffy thing is called, where men now wear ties!

26. Well, that's WHO trumpie likened Mayor Pete to,

when he was mocking him and his campaign.

Too bad he didn't realize that to many of us (especially those of us who had subscriptions !) that Alfred was our hero. We could all identify with him at some point.

I'm sorry. Dr. Fauci is kinda busy right now.


You have no idea HOW funny this really is. Dr. Fauci is the least political man on planet Earth.

I sure hope he sees this. It'll crack him up.
