Pickles by Brian Crane for January 27, 2019

Next time, Opal, be specific about when you want Earl to remind you where the keys are!

Better idea, hang the keys on a specific hook, either close to your front door or whichever door gives access to the garage. Then keys are always in the same place when you need them. :)

That’s what he gets for following orders.

Earl – living life on the edge. Of the kitchen counter.

I hope Opal doesn’t crack even more and throw her sewing machine at Earl.

Makes the food taste better…

But watch… she leaves… locks self out of house and says….. Earl I told you to remind me about my keys…. in the Kitchen and you hit me with the fly swatter… which your keys were right next to.

Earl is only doing what Opal said to do ;-}

A fly swatter on the kitchen counter is what bugs me.

ageing…..

The rain in Spain…. Lol!

ooooooo!!!!

My mom used to get after us kids with the flyswatter. It STUNG but at least it didn’t do any lasting damage (unlike the belt, which some of my friends’ parents were a bit too ready with…).

I had the thought that Earl keeps reminding her because that’s the only way he can remember to remind her…

And where the keys are…

Not that I’m describing myself in any way, shape, or form…

Of course…

☺

That machine she’s at! Did Apple just invent it? Is Google not allowed to advertise it? Oh, I saw something like it in our dining room but it has something called a treadle or trundle, depending on if you are from Wisconsin or Iowa.

Remember, whatever tool you choose, fly’s take off backwards.

A neighbor down the street was burglarized a couple years ago. The burglars smashed through his rear door, loaded two brand new flat screen TVs into his Cadillac in the garage, found his keys in a “conspicuous” place, stole the TVs, a bunch of jewelry and Cadillac. Ever since, my wife hides her keys.

When someone tells me to remind them, such as “don’t let me forget my keys are on the counter”, I immediately say “don’t forget your keys are on the counter”. They always say “not know, later!”. They never tell me when “later” is. Tomorrow? Next week?

Earl: Are you Pete or Re Pete?

JoanH has a great idea! Leave your keys on a hook by the door, so a burglar can find them easily. It makes things so much easier when he wants to drive your new car to the chop shop.

Just say O.K., you heard me! Once ,and I’ll go on my way …

Earl is cool!
