Pickles by Brian Crane for February 13, 2011

I bet that tasted good Earl.

What are you gonna do?

TIming is everything!

I seem to have the same kind of timing Earl…and the comebacks aren’t always so worth waiting for. And neither was that one.

Sounds like that there Kentucky jelly.

FishStix, that comeback could be liberating, indeed. It could liberate your head from your body!

Or your manhood.

I think of really funny comebacks everyday right after I click off the comics comments and go on about my day.

I guess I would have to say the next time Earl wants a meal, he would be told if he wants it done, then get it done!

She thought he was going to, but we all get confused sometimes.

Me too ilsapadu!!! Always when it’s too late…lol

Me too, Earl!

Ughhh! That must be so terrible taste with that tube of Preparation-H! Maybe Earl still itches his butt sorely. Hee hee hee heeeee….. :-D

That’s what’s known as l’esprit d’escalier - “the spirit of the staircase”. You’re at a party, and someone makes a smart remark to you, and you don’t come up with the right reply until your going down the stairs as you leave. It’s about the only useful phrase adopted from the French language.

The Germans call it Treppenwitz - “stairway witch”.

Don’t worry Earl. She hasn’t been back to nag you about the yard work.

I can come up with smarta$$ comments here, but the rest of you have already gone to bed!

Go for it JP Steve.
