Pickles by Brian Crane for March 14, 2023

Well that’s one way to look at it Earl. I guess.

He’s just killing it

Is this Keto Diet Corn? It looks sort of like that on the bag in panel 3.

What doesn’t kill you makes you fatter.

Sure, Earl.

It might have a cumulative effect on his system, like bee stings.

and if it does kill ya, at least you died enjoying yourself

I have had one heart attack. I am more afraid of having a stroke of bad luck. (Sorry, but some things that can be a stressor for me makes me cracks jokes, howbeit bad ones.)

True — Earl couldn’t be any more corny.

Hey just about anything you eat anymore,isn’t good for you,earl’s right

Opal, this is the same man who mentioned yesterday that his biggest regret was not having the third serving of prime rib!

Can Kettle Corn be too sweet for old people?

I can’t stop eating cheese popcorn once I start. I used to play poker once a month. They would buy a bag for me and a bag for the rest of the table.

Who does the SHOPPING Opal..??

Same here, Earl!

We are not getting out of this life alive…so enjoy it any way you can.

No rhyme nor reason with Earl! LOL

Got that right Earl, I think the same way

After a certain age, the die is pretty much cast. Better habits won’t change much.

Famous last words.

Seen on a tombstone “I ate everything I wanted to”!

Great logic

If you want to exist longer, follow all the doctor’s rules. If you want to LIVE for however long that last, do what qualifies for you as actually living.

Getting old is like driving on 50,000 mile tires. They don’t handle like when they were new and aren’t going to take much abuse,

Reality or not, my logic exactly. Just in case, I keep Tums nearby.

Reminds me of my Grandfather ….. one day the girl that helped My Grandparents asked me to speak to my Grandfather about his salt use (we were right there in the kitchen with him) …. so I said to him that the girl was concerned about his salt use (he was in his 90s then) ….. He stopped eat, looked up at me and said " I’ve been around for this long and I’m going to eat and use an d*mn thing that I want" ….. then went back to eating …. I looked at her and said, “You heard him” …. the subject was never brought up again …. :)

Brave man that he is, he has verified this.

I agree with Earl, but am glad that my 80 year old parents are more health conscious.

When the corn gets popped, the pop gets corny.

How I wished I could, Earl I disagree with you. I had to make a sever life change and cut down a lot on food. With exercising, working slow and hard way to lose weight and I am senior.

He has a good point…

I know popcorn, but what is kettle corn?
