The Buckets by Greg Cravens for July 06, 2022

NO statement will be believed now.

My wife knows she’ll gets my honest, considered opinion. As diplomatically as necessary, but still. We’ve been going for quite a while now, so clearly it’s not a totally disasterous approach.

My husband always gives me his honest opinion. He likes my hair long or short.

I love looking at my wife

I do like her hair the way it is, but even if she changes it I will still enjoy looking at her

Now there’s an impressive amount of negatives. Needs some “never”, “ain’t”, “no”, and “else” to reach professional lawyer level, though.

A septuplets negative. Impressive

I have opinions about my wife’s hair. No opinions worth taking a stand or making a stink over. It’s not MY hair, and I don’t have to spend time working on it every morning. The most blunt I’ve ever been is when I said I really didn’t like it short. I said that ‘cause I really, really didn’t like it short. That being said, she will one day, I bet, say that she’s sick of dealing with long hair and she’ll cut it short again. And I won’t take a stand, nor make a stink. That’d be selfish and rude of me, wouldn’t it?

Bernadette Rostenkowski : Well?

Howard Wolowitz : Okay, fine. I did say that, and I think it’s true. I think if we work together and live together, we’d get sick of each other.

Sheldon Cooper : Yeah, but to be fair, he only said the part about him getting sick of you.

Howard Wolowitz : [angrily, to Sheldon] For the love of God, why?

Bernadette Rostenkowski : What exactly do you think you’d get sick of?

Raj Koothrappali : [speaking quietly to Leonard] His only options here are to fake a heart attack or have a real one.

Howard Wolowitz : It’s nothing in particular. I…

Bernadette Rostenkowski : Is it my voice? Am I too bossy?

Howard Wolowitz : [he rubs his right arm] My arm is feeling numb.

Leonard Hofstadter : [to Raj] Nailed it.

Bernadette Rostenkowski : That’s the wrong arm for a heart attack, Doofus.

Next he’s going to run for the state senate.

Trip, stumble, and fall all over that tongue, did you?

Just be thankful you have hair

A very wise man indeed. It’s still not going to keep him out of trouble. It’s a lose-lose situation.

After panel 2, he should have just walked away and left her to figure out the meaning of his answer — which essentially comes down to, “I don’t want to answer that question.”

You’re a cartoon character. Change it and the internet will be whining that the old way is better. Then it will become political somehow.
