Pickles by Brian Crane for September 13, 2020

Better answer Earl, ‘It is so becoming. I love it on you.’

“I love whatever you like.”

I’ve always been pretty good at spotting changes in my lady acquaintances: Hairdo changes, clothing, different perfume etc. What my spouse complains about: I can’t spot her in the store at all: She says I’m not paying attention. I say she’s hiding behind the displays (which has to be at least partly true: She’s short).

know of any clothing stores that have operational changing rooms? the grocery store at which I work has a clothing department with changing rooms, but they’re not operational due to this doggone pandemic

I’m old I’ve been there and sat in the husband chair.

If he’s trying to save money, then complementing the clothes that are already paid for makes sense.

“Did you get your hair cut?” Fallback answer when asked “do you see anything different about me?”

Husband chairs are magical. They make husbands say the strangest things.

I’ve done that before.

They don’t have chairs anymore.

I wasn’t talking about the clothes. I was talking about the chair.

I have sat on a chair or bench with my wife’s purse on my lap. :-) One time another guy was looking at her purse and then at me. I said, “I know…doesn’t go with what I’m wearing.” LOL

I think Earl is refering to ‘the husband chair ‘.

Earl be glad Opal did not ask if the clothes made her look fat ;-)

Where’s the purse?

I think that Earl is missing a few brain cells.

I was so happy that Opal was getting an outfit that wasn’t lavender…

I call it “the chair of despair”

My husband hasn’t been shopping with me in 11 years. And the last time was for him and not me. If I shop for me I go alone.

It seems the decline in the “husband chair” was caused by fewer women needing the guy to drive. Mom can drive, pop stays home.

The other day, Opal was on his case about sloppy dressing to go shopping. Today, SHE wore her house slippers.

Well I am with Earl whatever she buys she will look the same as she always does.

I call that chair “The Men’s Department”.

Next, on to the Fabric Store.

There was a movie showing several men sitting and bored waiting for their wives, but I can’t remember the name. Guessing the age of online shopping has changed the brick and mortar needs.

Cell phones were invented for those occasions specifically.

Earl, your “eso sí que es” stupid are missing, underwear too?

Double down Earl.. you said exactly the right thing.. Opal was wearing a fine looking outfit

Opal wore her house slippers to the store? Comfort rules!

The same clothes she wears every day…or does she have multiples of the same thing.

“It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.”

Come on Opal you made Earl wait a long time, how good do you think his memory is.

Where are your socks Earl?

Opal mistake should came out let Earl look, he was already bored.For now the department store does not have husband chair accessible, for my husband due to health not possible to stand long time.

Noobie mistake. Never like the first outfit, regardless.

That chair is my favorite time of clothes shopping.

isn’t he also supposed to be holding her purse

Here’s my “save”: “You look good in whatever you’re wearing.” You’re welcome to use it, Earl.
