Pickles by Brian Crane for November 06, 2020

Good decision Earl. Cause whatever choice you make it would have been wrong.

In effect, I don’t know, and I don’t care.

We once put a line on the deck that ran down the centerline of the engine room upper level on the submarine I served on. One side was “I don’t know” and the other was “I don’t care” Any time we were asked a question we would love to the appropriate side. It lasted a few days before our Chief made us remove it as it was pissing off our Division Officer, which was its purpose.

If Opal wants a man’s opinion, she should go with Clyde’s, Nelson’s, or even (rarely seen son-in-law) Dan’s.

Those two things feed each other. For instance, I remember my then spouse being all excited about Irish harp tunes. I didn’t care, and they all sounded exactly alike, to me. Later in my life, I found a reason to like Celtic music, and lo and behold, suddenly the harp tunes WERE interesting and different.

You are right Earl…

Best not to be caught up in a theological discussion…

What’s wrong with all of them?

Use all 6

When it truly doesn’t matter (like for something of this level), simply say, “They are both great! ….which color scheme are YOU leaning towards?” And pick up the clues and agree that the way SHE is leaning is the way YOU lean, too. Case closed. He needs some husband classes.

You should know better than to ask Earl, Opal!

My grandmother used to make quilts in the 1950s, I wonder how common that is today?

Flip a coin.

Opal if it is a crazy Quilt use them all !

Why on earth would she even ask him? LOL

There are some colors I love (eg- electric blue), but I’d still never wear a shirt in that color.

This is where, “A man’s got to know his limitations” comes into play.

What is the difference between ignorance and apathy? I don’t know, and I don’t care.

“Patches, oh what can I do?”

At least it’s not as bad as the “Does this outfit…” question.

Ignorance is bliss.

Last panel is my new desktop

For gawd’s sake, Opal, go into your stash, pick out all your left-overs, and use them up. And, if you need any more to fill out spaces, let me know. . .

Like Earl, I have no idea what clothes match, which ones don’t, never ask me about colors, what clashes with what or mixing stripes and solids, or dots and stripes

“Pop, what do ignorance and apathy mean?”

“Don’t know and don’t care.”

I know exactly how he feels.

“…and ignorance just left the building.”

If I was a man, I perfectly agree with him on this one. Made me laugh.

In other words, Opal, I don’t know and I don’t care.

I don’t know the meaning of ignorance and apathy and I don’t give a damn.

Opal wrong guy to ask.

Let’s hear it for ignorance and apathy!

Which three are the warmest?

Use them both, Opal! I do crazy quilting ;)

Roscoe cares more about it than Earl.

If you pick one, that pretty much guarantees the other one will be the quilt.

He could have told a white lie and said he couldn’t decide because he was ambivalent.

Both sets would be good.

Or, “I don’t know” and “I don’t care.”

He sounds like an American voter!

Oh, go ahead and give her an opinion. She won’t be influenced by it.

He made a blanket statement.

Am I the only one who asks her spouse for his opinion on fabric choices? He’s got great color sense and often helps me decide.

“Don’t know. Don’t care.”

too late- the election is over!!

either one in my opinion.

My answer for those kind of questions is…”it doesn’t matter to me.”
