Pickles by Brian Crane for December 02, 2015

Your loopholes are ludicrous, Earl.

Opal, you take the small plate if you want and let Earl eat off a big plate if he wants.

Give it up, Opal. You’re gonna lose this one !

Wanna limit how much food is eaten? Limit how much food is made!

You can get MORE small plates into the dishwasher…LOL so it won’t leak.

it takes a certain talent to pile the plate like that

These ‘All you can eat buffets’ do that, you can walk off the calories while going back and forth! Very annoying!

Yes. Mr. Crane is a comic genius.

aicarrie1Same reason most readers didn’t. However, there is probably enough ready to eat food around to fill up the rest of the way – desserts and such.

Earl will be Earl.

If you’re only cooking for two, why do you need a dishwasher?

every time she wants to lose weight WE go on a diet. What is wrong with letting me get bigger, it will make her look smaller…

I’m not sure what Earl has on that plate, but kudos for stacking it that high, and not spilling on the way to the table (even if it was higher when he started).

My paternal grandfather was well known at social gatherings for filling his plate. We’d joke that he could fill up BOTH sides of a plate if he set his mind to it!

The problem is that the old fool isn’t really a fool.

Fair is fair, Opal dear.
