Pickles by Brian Crane for September 19, 2013

Don’t stay down there to long Earl. Your knees willstiffen up and you won’t be able to stand back upby yourself.

Earl, you should have noticed Opal had a screw loose a very long time ago.

Reminds of a comedy skit where a dude is looking for his fallen contact lens under a street lamp. A second dude asks where it was dropped. First dude points beyond the street lamp. Why? Because the light’s better!

Quick comeback Earl. That’s really thinking on you feet…er…knees.

Sigh! I only knew that because you all (commenters) explained that early in the week. I have already explained my feelings about the younger generation in another comment section.

See Flo and Friends if you can to know it. Otherwise, thank you for your comments because I always learn so much.

Kept looking Grandpa !

Actually, if they were practical older people, as are most I know, they would have half-a-dozen old pair in a drawer somewhere, kept for repair parts… if only Opal hasn’t thrown them away, if only Earl could remember which drawer.

I take the easy way out !!!!! 8^)

The easy way out is the only way out for me.

Thank you daughter for telling the parents go the easy way. I would do that anyway go to optical for repairs.

One reason why it’s better to have laminate flooring, you can just get the broom and probably find the dumb thing.

Earl and Opal look like a couple of dogs down there…

How do you get to the optician when your glasses are broken. That taxi ride will cost a heck of a lot more than a fix-it-kit.

Well it’s better than being on your hands and knees frantically searching!

LOL xxx

annoyance factor; Of all the comedy scenes I’ve ever seen from Uncle Miltie to ‘Big Bang’ is that as soon’s someone loses their glasses, they’re totally blind.. If someone’s THAT blind, they’d be toting around giant electronic devices capable of brain stimulation and ‘shape-recognition’ algorithms, but from all the diopter ranges I’VE ever found, both positive and negative, I’ve never found anyone really ‘blind.’ save for people who were REALLY blind and needed assistance about everywhere and not in particular need of light switches.

I remember that in the 60s, a certain UK science programme featured a hand held sonic device for people with very poor eyesight. Never saw it in real life, though.
