Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for January 23, 2025

With a tip of the hat to Red Green: If women don’t find you handsome at least be handy.

You’re just an utility, Honey do

True. Doesn’t hurt to be in love, though. (⋆ ˆ3ˆ)♥(◕ε◕♡)

A lesson I wish every man would lealrn.

One of my favorite shows. “Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati”

Just remember to keep your stick on the ice.

Living the dream!!

Keeping her warm at night is his favorite pastime.

That’s true. …Because being useful says “It’s not all about me, I see your needs and I love you enough to think about what eases your path or makes you happy”. Good for Arlo, lucky Janis.

He’s right. I used to date a woman who said she loved too watch a man work with his hands.

When you don’t have money, looks, or brains, you impress them however you can.

Aww, wasn’t invited to join her in the bath.

Be happy with the practical comments Arlo, be happy.

Is that why my wife keeps saying, “Well, at least you’re cute.”?

And “Quondo Omni Flunkus Mortati.” Keep your stick on the ice.

Nothing impresses a man more by being told they’re handy instead of just taking it for granted.

Arlo’s wrong.

Nothing surprises a woman more than a man who’s actually being useful.

Janis whined the entire arc.

So, “Stud” is out, and “Jeeves” is in. That’s just how it goes at our age Arlo.

Let’s see, Arlo cooked, kept the fire going, kept her warm at night, drew her a hot bath, and has served her a cup of hot tea while she soaks. Yup, it sure sounds like Janis went through a lot of suffering during the power outage….

Wait, a wife is pointing out all the things her husband did RIGHT??? Definitely fiction.

It’s always worked for me!

Being useless is not useful, at least be a bad example.

Earn those brownie points, Arlo!!!

And keeping her warm.

Janis said: You even kept me warm at night. That alone will bring you pleasant rewards,Arlo!!

…and you didn’t nudge me while I snored like a Harley Davidson…

That’s all it takes to make a happy couple! That’s worked for me for more than 35 years. I put aside all that man stuff(I mean a different “s” word), and acted as though I’m 50% of this marriage, and never had a bad day with my wife and best friend. We’ve been on the same page every day, and never had an argument in all our years together.

Until they start to take it all for granted.

True.

If you’re not useful, you’re useless, so why have you around? I’ve got enough to do without taking care of one more. It sounds mean but you get resentful if your significant other is not helping.

Love is, him laying on the ground,under a car, in a wet October, at night, fixing your gas line.

Tea, Arlo, Really???…well any excuse to see your spouse nude is a good excuse.

puppy eyes is a contender

Truer words were never spoken

Men HAVE to make the coffee. It says so in the Bible. Hebrews.

Too many arms in the way…

oooh…someone’s getting lucky tonight
