Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for September 14, 2013

Guido sure calls at the worst possible times, doesn’t he?

I’d grab that cellphone and throw it out the window. And probably Gretchen with it!

I think this is beginning to looka lot like Alley Oop, right now.No meeting here’ either. And we never getto see the elusive Guido.

2:30 in the morning. Wasn’t that the beginning of this running gag? So, Guido never left Italy – or, wherever he’s been hiding….“Quiet, folks! It’s Guido!” Gretchen is such a wonderful house guest..Guess that dog can sleep through all of this..Guido the next “Downwind”? (Terry and the Pirates?)

Who the hell is Guido anyway?

Does Gretchen’s cell not have a “vibrate” setting? Mine does, and it’s three years old.

Or even a volume control for the ringer?

Gretchen has an interesting reing tone. Is it "Bloop Bleep, Bloop Bleep, My faucet keeps a leakin and I can’t sleep?

They need to have a talk with that girl about rules and boundaries now.

Clovia to Gretchen:New House rule. Cell phones off at 10 PM. You may plug in the charger, but the call function MUST be disengaged.
