Frazz by Jef Mallett for June 20, 2015

I don’t know that it’s the “most important” advice that Dad ever gave… but it was my favorite. It was actually two four-word pieces of advice that he would dispense whenever I (back in my 20’s) would ever grumble about a sore muscle or something similar:

1. Get used to it.2. It will get worse.

:)

And this explains how Frazz and Miss Plainwell became a couple.

I wonder if “advice” is akin to “money” in this quote: ‘Money is like manure; it’s not worth a thing unless it’s spread around encouraging young things to grow.’

and yet, she got it, laughed, and grew closer due to his response. Strange how that works. At least you would think so.

Never put off until tomorrow what can be put off until the day after that…..

Before I went overseas the first time, my step-dad told me, “Son, watch those women. They’ll take your money”. He was right.

Reminds me of the old joke:

Tourist to local resident: “Have you lived here all your life?”Local: “Not yet”.

Ha, I love that they are holding hands!

“You can’t put on a jacket if you’re not wearing one”

you can shop in the pharmacy or in the baby department choose wisely

“Have you been obtuse enough not to understand jokes and humor your whole life?”“Not yet.”

Don’t know about a lot of the comments here, or your replies, but I DID get DevilsNight’s comment. I think the advice he was quoting was, “shop in the pharmacy (birth control) or the baby department (gonna be a daddy because of no birth control) so choose wisely!”.Did I get it right, DevilsNight?

That’s how she takes the answer. He was actually saying that he can’t judge the importance of the advice he has so far been given until he eventually follows it all (or at least until he has more hindsight).

(In other words, not what @bigpuma said.)

My dad is a lead by example kind of guy. I would say his best advice would be to do the hard stuff because you don’t know if you can.

“I wouldn’t give Mallett and his heroes the benefit of the doubt, ever.” This is the kind of statement that makes your insistence that you like this strip sound like 7 pounds of BS in a 5 pound bag.
