Ralph is honest with himself — without full disclosure to third parties. This demonstrates an ability to finesse an otherwise potentially embarrassing situation. This is a subtle — but not dishonest — technique that connotes practical wisdom. Ralph doesn’t lie; he just does not tell the whole truth. After all, he is not on a witness stand — and under oath to tell not only the truth but the whole truth. We must, however, always be honest with ourselves. Many people in our American society these days are not honest with themselves. Instead they eschew the truth and profess to believe what they want to believe. That is unwise — both for the individual and for our society. It is a cancer on our society that needs to be cured.
One post-Halloween sale when I was living in SoCal was held in an old blimp barn. They had 40 semis worth of candy. I didn’t go, a guy can get hurt in a feeding frenzy.

Why don’t you find out who the supplier is and save yourself a trip to the grocery store, Ralph?

I knew my first buy wouldn’t last ’til October.

That’s why I don’t buy it until the end of October.

My wife always says, buy stuff you don’t like.

Meanwhile back home Wally is on high alert, because he heard it’s National Badger Day.

Don’t believe I will be doing any decorating this year. That was her thing to do.
Anybody need 100 blinking light strings with anywhere from 25 to 60 bulbs? :)
