I'm really not sure where this one came from. It may have been sparked by talk of floatation devices during my recent trip to the lake, but I can't be certain.

I've always been confused by the idea of sending your elderly down the river on a block of ice. The truth is that the practice was very rare and is no longer done. But it makes a good joke.

To set the decrepit adrift.

Where would one get a block of ice large enough to float on in the tropics? The local Surf Shop maybe. AS for floating your elderly off on a block of ice... might as well put them in a river that leads to a waterfall.

From the ice box.

Glad to know my floatation devices made your comic worthwhile. :P
