Pickles by Brian Crane for June 02, 2020

I can assure you Earl i don’t want to know.

I do that, too – especially at work.

I suspect she has two different motions, number 1 and number 2.

I’m not sure I want to know about this aspect of your life, Earl, but HOW could you misplace your TP?!

Brian Crane, this is not up to your usual standard of humour. :(

Clenched fists when in a store.

I mimic “TP” with the same motion as “make it rain”: https://i0.wp.com/writesomeshit.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/michelle-obama-make-it-rain.gif

‘Cause that’s how I do my TP….

I thought maybe she was playing “rock, paper, scissors”.

A comedian once noticed that people still point to their wrists to ask “what time is it?” even in these days when everyone gets the time from their phones.

He then went on to wonder why they don’t make an equivalent gesture for “I need to use the bathroom”.

I think she would mimic the motion of unrolling, Earl.

I assumed she was mimicing scissors so she wouldn’t forget what she was looking for.

The unkindest cut of all, Earl!

Roscoe seems dead scared of that scenario!

Something about “front-to-back or back-to-front”………

Thanks, Earl…now I’m going to spend the rest of my morning getting that visual out of my head…

She mimics cleaning her glasses. At least that’s the motion I would use.

The evil is in the eye of the beholder !

Well Earl what do you do to remember stuff ? Seeing you seldom get up off of your butt ;-)

Remember the good old days when the search for TP was the top news story?

In my family, we like to put out an empty hand as though holding a cocktail glass, “OK – What’s wrong with this picture?”

She hums the classic tune WIPEOUT…

thanks for my guffaw for the day

Roscoe steals the show, again

Really. Someone tell me how to un-read that, please!

TMI

Ewwwwwww!

Kinda a cross between a squat and a waddle.

Omg Earl! Some dignity here….

hahaha that was good… :)

My Aunt; God rest her soul. Used to also make similar hand notions when something has slipped her mind and she was trying to remember

And.. how long have you been married.. and not noticed. Or, perhaps as a younger man.. you misinterpreted her signals.

Hopefully not in the paper goods isle of the grocery store.

If they had a budget crunch and had to give up the dog or the grandson, which one would go?

Why, Earl, did you use the last bit and not replace the roll?

I don’t want to know!

There is a reason for that. It has been shown that when you cross a threshold, your mind sorta resets itself to a new environment. This is why we forget what we came for when we move into another room. If you repeat to yourself what it is you were looking for while crossing the threshold, your mind will include that in the reset. Making a motion mimicking the use of the object you are looking for will do the same thing.

Well isn’t that randy..

no sweat. My grandmother does the same old thing. btw, follow me on TikTok with #like a woman

I’d like to see her looking for her bicycle… or the saddle for the horse…

Wipe. Wipe. Wipe…

That’s just silly. Opal knows exactly where the new toilet paper is – where she always puts it after buying it. It’s Earl who probably wouldn’t know where to look if the roll in the bathroom ran out. And I bet he wouldn’t go looking so he could replace it either. Scissors, on the other hand, you carry about with you to use in different places and heavens knows where you last put them down.
