Earl couldn’t you turn them off ? Or just turned them way down ?

you asked, Opal

If he had married a supermodel, what would have been different? 50 years later, she would look like Opal.

THAT just changed your life Earl!

That’s a loaded question anyhow. With or without the hearing aids, his answer will be wrong!

Knowing entrapment when presented

… and whap up side his head. (Now he regrets saying that out loud.)

Good comeback, Earl!

I should have bought bitcoins back in 2005. Mind though, it wouldn’t have been easy since they didn’t exist yet till 2008…

Looks like Roscoe didn’t want to get involved? I Don’t blame him.

DANGER, WILL ROBINSON! (Where’s Robot when he’s really needed?!)

If I was married to Opal I would not have hearing aids.

Hope you have a comfortable couch Earl.

\\//_

Ha.!!!!! - GOOD ONE.!!

Who would want to marry anyone famous, let alone a supermodel, with the hassles that would entail?

Ouch!

I’m glad I didn’t have anything in my mouth! I choked myself laughing.

Family Feud avoided – GOOD ANSWER, EARL

I like to think about “alternative lives” occasionally. What would have happened if I hadn’t decided to move to this country from Europe for example? Or not have married? It gets mind-boggling, how every small decision would change everything.

Watching the movie “Robot Monster” (1953). That’s sixty-six minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

And there you have it!

There is nothing quite like having a spouse you want to connect with who has either a newspaper covering their face or is staring at a TV with their jaw hanging down and you want to count the flies that might enter the void.

He could change one decision in life, by, maybe asking his cartoonist politely if he could swap strips?

That is sooo exactly what my husband would say!

That was a really loaded question ….. Opal … You should never ask a question, that you don’t want to know the “REAL” answer to .:)

He’d be on ‘The Loading Dock’ with Chesney (TEN CATS) right now.

They deserve each other!!!!!

My wife asked that once and I said, “Hiring you as a maid. I would hire Scarlett Johansson to clean the house while you and I adjourn to the bedroom for some fun.”

Gasp! Hint hint, Opal!

…And I am a stuntman living in LA

Married to a small blonde Portuguese skier

Who, when she’s not training does abstract paintings, practices yoga and brews her own beer.

And really likes making home movies

and suffers neck-down alopecia

My first wife and I had an amicable divorce more than 40 years ago. It was gratifying to hear her say in a recent phone conversation that she doesn’t regret anything. I told her I felt the same.

For ONCE, I sympathize with Earl ;-)

Aah, the least deadly answer to a no way out question.

Getting married to the first wife. Then again, the divorce led me to return to Edinburgh to see The Fringe and there I met the lady who eventually, about 8 years later, became my second wife and we are still going strong 27 years later.

The aid is not in the hearing but in the selective hearing!!!

Exactly!

being born would be mine (yeah, yeah, I know it wasn’t my choice and I’m a bit miffed about that)

Earl escaped the no win scenario just like James T. Kirk did in the “Kobayashi Maru” training test (for Star Trek aficionados) but for different reasons.

A safe wise answer Earl. :-)

Gotta just love those trapping questions women are prone to ask.

LOLOL — This is very funny! Pretty sure my parents/grandparents each had this conversation.

I love Earl!
