or go to the store, Earl, to get new hearing aid batteries

Never answer and unknown phone number. If you want me, leave a message and I will get back to you.

I have enough ringing in my ears without sticking some itchy dam’ device in there.

Opal: “I just got a new hearing aid.”

Earl: “What kind is it?”

Opal: “About ten after three.”

We all know what you said, Earl!

Earl the thing about print is there is no question as to what was said ;-)

The new iPhone update has a setting that when activated, sends any call not in your contact list to VM and the phone never rings. Could be a problem if you doctor uses multiple lines with different numbers.

Windy today. No, it’s Thursday. Me too, lets have a beer.

I’m going for hearing aids today. All it took was fifteen years of people telling me I need ’em.

you people are completely off subject it’s about hearing aids

Ouch !!!!

No one home to answer the phone just leave a message at the tone (in a rap style)

I went to an AARP event yesterday, a movie (“Judy” with Renee Zellweger — fantastic — go see it). A very elderly couple came in and sat behind me and had the sort of conversation you could only have if you’ve been married 40 or 50 years. The event started at 6:00 p.m. This conversation started at 5:55 p.m.

Her: What time is it?

Him: Five to.

Her: Five two?

Him: Five to.

Her: What time is it?

Him: Five to.

Her: Five to two?

Him: Five to.

Her: Five to what?

Him: To the movie.

Her: What?

Him. Five minutes to the movie.

Her: What time is it?

Him: Five to.

Her: Five to what?

Him: To the movie.

Her: Five to what time?

Him: I don’t know, I can’t see my watch.

Long pause.

Her: What time is it?

Him: Five to.

I was choking back laughter and couldn’t help them.

Is Earl messing with her? He did say raining.

We haven’t had rain in……I don’t remember….

So was Earl really saying Ringing and Opal thought She was hearing Raining ? Or was Earl just Messing With Opal ? :-)

Is Earl ‘gaslighting’ Opal? Lol!

Grandpa said “raining.”

“I Can’t Hear You With The Water Running”

(Cupping hand to ear) What?

I guess we all need to get our hearing checked, and our eyes.

Wait now which is correct? Did he say raining or ringing?? Hard joke for a cartoon.

Wait now—which is it? Did he say raining or ringing? Hard joke for a cartoon.
