The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for July 14, 2022

And with high level issues.

A gender linked problem

Gladys never repeats gossip, so you’d better listen carefully the first time.

Well did you spread the rumors? Inquiring minds want to know.

Brutus, be thankful for the respite.

Gladys is speechless? I don’t know what to say! I’m gobsmacked. Also dumbfounded and flabbergasted.

That’s the most unheard-of thing I ever heard of!

Brutus got that right. And before you know it, Gladys will be spreading rumors about Mabel, too.

Nothing beats the Beatles gossip about Loretta in that old song. This may be copyright but I use it for education purposes,

“Sweet Loretta thought she was a woman. But she was another man! All the girls around her say she’s got it coming. But she gets it from Mabel and Gladys on the Born Loser!”

as brutus notes, the problem with folks who tell you they’re speechless is that they’re not…

See how long she can go speechless? I’m betting on 2 minutes!

maybe it’s time to go somewhere for awhile… don’t forget the replacement dummy to take your place in the mean time, so’s not to get caught that ya left. ;)

Brutus knows his wife very well!

Time for Gladys to take up some activity outside the home, thinking along the lines of a book or wine club, maybe volunteer activity or even a part time job. She will be glad to widen her circle of people she can gossip about (friends?) and Brutus would be glad for the break it affords him.

Wine club? Doesn’t she have enough self made problems already?

ba dum tss

She’s part of a very big club I’m afraid…..

How is Loretta Young?

You mean like the one you’re spreading right now.

Undoubtedly Gladys picked up her speechlessness from Mother Gargle.

Brutus’s look in the third shows he’s already bored with what’s going to come.

….And nobody goes there anymore because it is too crowded….

Loretta Lockhorn?
