Pickles by Brian Crane for November 15, 2016

Yeah? Well Opal is going to imagine she fixed you your favorite dinner tonight, pal.

can Earl do ANY household chore? not even hammer a nail into the wall for a picture?

easily fooled.

I can easily fool myself. Problem is…I can never fool my wife !

sometimes Earl’s folding looks much like what comes out of the drier in the first place

Earl should take up Laundry Origami. Pearl will not ask again.

Earl is in big trouble if anything happens to his wife. He can barely function as it is.

Feigning incompetence won’t work, Earl.

I fold everything Socks, Underwear, washcloths etc

Isn’t she going to scold him for putting it on the floor too? Opal, you’re slipping!!

I thought he was going to say he has programmed his brain to always say “Yes mam” no matter what she says so that way she is always right and he avoid confrontation.

Lazy old coot!

If you get off your brain you might be of some help.

(I toss all my clothes in a pile, the same way my wife did hers ere we wed.)

Definition of fold

.

: to fail completely : collapse; especially : to go out of business

Careful Earl, you might be sent to a Home, saying things like that.
