Pickles by Brian Crane for June 23, 2016

not so much “what did you say?” as “what do you mean?”

Roscoe looks pretty relaxed today.

And why, pray tell, do you not want to go to the church dinner, Earl?

At least she didn’t say, “We need to talk.” The 4 deadliest words a man can hear.

You quickly learn to respond correctly.

The answer is still “no” with a he double hockey sticks in front of it.

I’d rephrase your comment. The NEED for dialogue still exists, the conditions for it to OCCUR have ceased to exist.

Good job of drawing old man knees!

When my wife says things like that, it may lose something in the translation, but the attitude and meaning are clear in any language !

Ah, Earl. Listen to me make the sound of a whip.

When a woman says “we need to talk” to a man, that translates into “you need to listen”.

When a man says “we need to talk” to a woman, she raises an eyebrow and has already decided this better be a good one.

“Awww, Opal….. we had fish and bread for lunch!”

Opal, go alone. You’d be much happier.

She’ll keep nagging you until you say “Yes”

It’s as simple as saying “No”

Up to you, Earl.

Simpler, in fact… :-)

All these years, Earl and you still haven’t caught on to that?I’d bet your mother used that when you were little and rebellious.

“Your church, your dinner…. you go!”

@rekam“Opal, go alone. You’d be much happier.”.Nope.She’s doing right now what gives her happiness.

WildeBill… Right up there with, “Nothing,” in response to the question, “What’s wrong?” or “What did I do wrong?”
