Pickles by Brian Crane for April 30, 2016

I’m thinking Maybe Opal smeared them with bacon grease and left them out in the front yard. Stuff happens, y’know?

Opal probably walked them to the trash bin,

My wife has an irrational desire to have everything put in a particular place…..everything! Often, her particular place is not MY particular place and I have to ask her where she put something or “Have you seen my boots?” I have a couple spots in the house that are “hands off” areas, but I’m lucky to have a heated garage and workshop attached to the house that is my domain.

“Honey, where are my car keys?”“They’re in the freezer.”“What on earth are they doing there?”“That’s where I always put them.”“But why the freezer?”“Because they have no business being there, which means I’ll remember that’s where they are whenever someone asks. If I put them some place that made sense, the information wouldn’t stick.”

“Happy trails to you…”

I do not touch Hubby’s things. I fold the laundry and put it on top of his dresser for him to put away. His clothing stays where ever he drops it. (He’s figured out the toilet paper roll, but not the hamper.) When he asks if I’ve seen such-and-such I just give him my patented blank look, and he goes and looks under stuff until he find it.

That is the kind of answer I get when The wife threw them out.

I guarantee he will find them in the last place he looks!

That would be O.K. if they walked with that ugly blouse…or dress or that purple rag you wear everyday.

@ksu71: That’s because once he finds them he no longer needs to look for them.

I think the garbage man will find them before he does.

Reminds me of the times I’d ask my Mom where she put/destroyed my stinky, worn-out Levis when I was in school !

I had a funny quip, but I already forgot what the strip was about.
