Pickles by Brian Crane for July 23, 2020

A volunteer…

At least he didn’t ask about the eggs.

Roseanne once said “men can’t find the ketchup behind the mustard, they think the uterus is a tracking device!” (paraphrasing)

I can’t find “it” if it’s wrapped in the wrong color, if it’s on the wrong shelf, if it’s not the shape I expected, or if I’m in a hurry. Earl’s my hero here…

I get that once in a while while getting something out of the parents’ fridge while visiting their house: where’s the [thing in question], give up, they look, and bring it out. Oh, there it is!.

When your cheese begins moving by itself like this it’s HIGH time to eat it!

Looks like Earl made a dairy-err!

That’s one big chunk of cheese! It’s bigger than his foot.

The power of being Opal !

You found it, Earl? It looks like it found you!

Who moved the cheese?

This is my husband. I’ll put something RIGHT AT EYE LEVEL at the front of the shelf that I know he will be looking for. And he STILL can’t find it. How do I make my food act like this cheese and jump up and BITE him?

Opal was thinking….DON’T LET ME COME IN THERRRRRRRRE

Well, that’s me.

I’m surprised that he still didn’t see it

While working as a room service waiter at the Hyatt House, the head chef told me to get the boiled eggs out of the walk in refrigerator. I looked for 3-4 minutes and came out and said, “They’re not in there.” He came storming over, opened the door, an pulled them out. They were right by the entrance. After that, when I couldn’t find stuff, I said, “I don’t see them.”

my bet is he moved it trying to look for it..

Cheese and trouble both have one thing in common, you don’t find them…….they find you.

Booby trap!!

So like our house, only it is me when I am looking does not pop out, and then I have husband help find.

Earl has many unrecognized capabilities. He certainly doesn’t recognize them.

The Male Blindspot strikes again. Happens to me all the time. Just ask my wife.

happens every time!

Cheese, I do not see this really happening!

Holy cow could that refrigerator being any more packed.

Some are hunters and gatherers, but Earl is more of a waiter and hoper.
