Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for December 21, 2015

Run, man, run

But she didn’t mention brand, size, color, type of fuzz, slip-on, over-the heel, ankle-high, calf-high, thigh high…. Jimbo, ya can’t win for losing. Get her a socket wrench. You’ll hear about it, but you’ll hear less about it than those slippers that she feels she should wear to please you (but aren’t quite what she wanted).

I would love a pair of purple, fuzzy, bootie-type slippers, but I haven’t seen that style in years. I HATE scuffs.

Go to Target. I’m guessing medium. Get gray, pink, and leopard colors galore! You can’t buy them in the summer so stock up.

Get the slippers AND something else that is really, really nice, otherwise you are in deep trouble.

Rose is employing a tried and true strategy…..I hope my girlfriend is reading this strip. Oh! I’ll just share this strip with her and a few other friends…..then go start the car!

Don’t listen to that, Jimbo. She would not be happy with a pair of slippers.

Slippers are good, but he’d better get something nicer too. I prefer something I really need, no matter what it is. Last year I got new covers for the headlights on my car because mine were all fogged up and I was thrilled!

She would also love a warm house. Close the door!

Now that the new Star Wars is out, everyone needs to get Chewbacca slippers. And they are probably warm.

I wonder what he actually bought her, if he had to leave so quickly to get the slippers?

as lawrence block wrote in hit man, when the man learns the basics, a woman can never have too many pairs of earrings.

Abby is dropping the Same sort of Hints to Her husband at the Other end of that phone call.
