Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for May 21, 2024

and that calls for a bridle

I’m with you, Aunty.

Use tact, you fathead.

“After arguing with someone I try to make up by saying ‘Peace be with you.’But darned if my words don’t come out, ‘Peace on you’.”

If you use tact, you are no longer speaking your mind.

I read the comments to see if anyone noticed her shadow. Seems to be sideways. . . . .

Speaking your mind is a 4 word sentence consisting of one syllable words.

Why should you be tactful? Nobody else is. . .

Sometimes the ‘lip/ mouth filter’ fails to work.

Spoken like a true drunk. Hic.

Your shadow seems rather off today, Aunty!

It is still “sharp”!!!!

I’m surprised you even know the word ‘tactful’.

That is me- – perfect! yes shadow is off-that is on the artist’s head.

I tried tactfully, but I ran out of tacks.

“Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.” —Benjamin Franklin

just think if everyone in the world took auntie’s approach. we’d all be swinging sledgehammers at each other… ☺

Not being tactful is your stock-in-trade, Aunty. If you ever change that, you’ll lose all your readers.

The shadow knows!
