Pickles by Brian Crane for May 23, 2022

Delightful

Light humor.

If you’ve got it, flaunt it!

Now she doesn’t have to take his chair.

anyone hear a cricket in the Pickles’ living room?

I’m retired. I was tired earlier, then I rested, now I’m tired again.

I was watching an episode of Ghost Adventures one evening. It was giving me the creeps so I thought I’d turn it off and watch something else. Before I did that I went into the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. As I was doing so the light went out and I found myself standing at the counter in darkness. I was annoyed that I would have to change the bulb. But without giving it much thought I walked over to the light switch and turned it on. The light came on and I was glad that I did not have to drag the step stool out of storage and change the bulb. But then a thought came to me. I had gone to the kitchen, turned the light on, started to make tea and then the light went out. I turned the light switch back on the the kitchen was no longer in darkness but light. My big question was how did the light switch go from on to off? The switch was not faulty and solid. How did that happen? My wife was in the bedroom, the pets were with her. I was alone. Anyone tell me seriously how that happened?

It took a couple weeks to sneak it past Pastis…

At one age level, this kind of humor just is.

I get asked that a lot. Sometimes, the answer is “a couple of years.”

Jokes THAT bad are grounds for divorce.

Were you waiting to pun-ish her, Earl?

How revolting.

I’m an elderly person who is an incurable punster. Mr. Crane, are you lamp-ooning me? Can you shed some light on this?

Lets amp up the comments!

Since sixth grade.

I’m just happy that he REMEMBERED something from two weeks ago……

The electrical engineers are out in force today.

Let there be light…..

Actually, now she is enlightened

He probaby replaced a CFC lamp with an LED lamp. You can now buy them up to equivalent 200-watt incandescent, which is relief. As we get older, light sensitivity can be reduced 20%.

The BEST jokes age like fine wine…or last weeks discarded fruit peels…

Earl is her Pearl!

Just today I used something I had thought of before in a GoComics post. I’d only had it about a week, though… ☺

Shocking!

That reminds me, I need to replace a bulb above the sink. I sure hope I remember to use this one!
