Pickles by Brian Crane for April 21, 2011

Don’t forget to put your shoes on first before you go to the store then.

Perhaps Opal replaced all his colored socks with white ones.

yeah, Opal, just buy a ton of black socks, all the same. Works here, plus way less hassle pairing them up after wash…

Now what are the odds of picking out matching socks and matching shoes. With Earl, it can’t be done, I tell ya.

Opal the least you could do is match them up for him after you do the wash…then you wouldn’t have to comment about his socks not matching.

Nope, used it all up on socks.

Then what would they talk about? Of course, I immediately thought about “Ask Marilyn” in Parade magazine where she always talks about the odds of things happening. I’m sure she would have an answer for this. Granted, if he only has two types of socks, he only needs to pull out three. Easy!

p.s. I don’t match up my husband’s socks either. Really, how difficult is that for him to do, especially since I do his laundry? Now, If I didn’t have young children and had nothing else to do, I might do that while watching a show, but I have better things to do now. Like make comments on comics about socks. ;-)

firstwife - that was my thought as well

Oooh, the plot thickens!

I buy all white socks, all the same type. Never have a non-matching problem.

Earl needs to come visit me in Vegas with someone else I don’t know…

You’ve got bear’s feet? I haven’t seen socks for bears. I guess you’re going aroud your house in bare feet then.

Maybe he has bear claws for feet. Yum!

Maybe Opal had something to do with it, Earl.
