Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for July 18, 2022

Girls talk too much – Peter Pan

Twilight zoned out.

Selective hearing is good for your sanity

Hey, at least his eyes weren’t closed.

One of JJ’s favorite scenarios! Slight variations have appeared dozens of times and each does hit home as squarely as today’s.

Bad when you forget what you were saying and nobody around you knows either.

Good save Arlo!

What’s a nice girl like you doing in a crazy mixed up comic like this?

Girls don’t talk too much, they just use too many pronouns.

“Shot Who?”

@Ahuehuete- As I used to tell many teenage boys in high schools I worked in, that’s how females are. Very chatty, most of them. Comes with the territory.

Me listening to my wife’s daily work experience.

Guys do not do gossip. Talk guns, cars or sports and they listen.

He zoned out

If you get a man to say more than about 7 words to you, you’re above the curve.

My wife keeps saying I never pay attention to what she’s saying… such a strange way to start a conversation.

Yep – my wife. She thinks I need to know the plot of the tv show she’s watching when I sit down with her. And she starts with the background info from about 5 episodes ago. If I were to say “I really don’t care” I’d hurt her feelings. (cue, eyes glazing over)

Very good line….

Gossip causes Arlo to doze off?

Great recovery!

I have 2 adult daughters to talk to. I would never expect my husband to listen to topics like this.

Early in my marriage I could tell my husband was not listening. So I would end the conversation by saying “So we agree. We’ll take the $10,000 out of the bank tomorrow”. Of course he had no idea what he agreed to.
