Earl looks a bit like the Monopoly dude

if the Monopoly dude was Wilford Brimley

@jmworacle

you sure (almost) convinced Nelson there, Earl

That’s just mean, Gramps )-:

Twenty dollars. That’s like getting an Income Tax Refund without having to land on Community Chest.

That’s where the cell phone and remotes end up.

He also found a couple of hotels.

At least sofa fishing is legal. Unlike the ‘phishing’ for personal information online that some people do.

Nelson seems more interested in money than my kid was at that age.

jeez!

the way he dove in, he coulda used a snorkel

Earl said the magic words!

When he emerges, he’ll look like a Swiffer – with all sorts of things stuck to him.. except what he was going after :)

Next time he sofa fishes, he may find a grandson!

Way to tease him, Earl!

About forty years ago while at Disney World on a couples vacation my friend and I launched our “Spouse Embarrassment Campaign” by sofa diving in the main lobby of one of the prominent On Location Disney hotels. Once we saw them enter the lobby we would go into action and then proclaim loudly pretending to find quarters and dimes… spouses were not amused…. we were quite amused by our clever actions. No weren’t drinking.

Pulled that $20 bill joke on my son on April first. He fell for it just like Nelson.

Earl, enough! Take your grandson fishing!

Earl won’t divulge his best $20 fishing hole: Opal’s Purse.

When I first started seeing my husband in 1982, I’d do his laundry. I was always finding money in his pockets – $10 and $20 bills. He said it was easier to put money in his pockets (both shirts and jeans) when we were out at the clubs than back in his wallet.

ba dum tss

At least take him out for a fish sandwich!

Proper incentive.

That triggered a memory. When we were kids we used to have “Confederate” money… where did we get that? (pretty sure it was play money not “real” money)

The kid took a dive. I wear my dairy cow gloves. Then take a good long bath.

Give him a REAL $20….. Take him to the TOY store……… and call it a DAY ( he’ll forget ALL ABOUT fishing )

Money talks…but not Monopoly money!

Notice he waits until Nelson can’t hear him.
