The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 11, 2023

Must have those rabbit batteries. Bam bam bam…. keeps on going.

Should I get up or will you get up?

I had a toothbrush that started turning on by itself, I can you it scared the s out of me the first couple of times, especially when it fell into the sink.

I hate when a light is on, drives me nuts. So the TB would be unforgivable

And not a replacement battery in the house.

Did he forget to rinse it? You know how yucky toothpaste splatter is.

I thought it was the sound of cicadas.

Switch to an old fashioned toothbrush Brutus, that way you can keep domestic tranquility…

It’s coming from outside. Oh, than it’s probably the electric weed eater. I may have left it on when you called me for dinner. What? I was hungry.

what’s your toothbrush doing, brushing it self? :D

Gladys loves her husband to much to say what she’s thinking. Which could be either “how can anyone forget to turn off a toothbrush?” Or “Next up, car keys in the refrigerator.”

Gladys if some noise is bothering you, get up and find out what it is. After all I’m the loser?

At least it’s not the smoke alarm in the basement. Beep, beep, beep. Just loud enough to wake you up, and then go silent until you fall back to sleep.

Get up and turn it off, please, Brutus.

Who leaves a battery powered toothbrush on? My Oral B is so loud, I can’t ignore its sound and not turn it off. Could Brutus need his ears checked?

Unusual but possible. And with Brutus, anything is possible…..

This could have gone in a completely different direction…

Brutus is even losing his memory, poor guy. Can’t catch a break…

Huh my toothbrush shuts off automatically after 2 minutes.

I wonder where he set it down and left it running?

As small as Brutus’s salary is, I’m surprised that he has an electric toothbrush.

That eliminated her vibrator, it would have a much louder noise.

. . . the presently related episode is merely another in an endless series . Hence – - the Sympathy of The Whole World is implored for this feckless individual and a muttered imprecation is invoked in his behalf .

“I told you”, Gladys retorts, “that high priced electric toothbrush you got from amazon, made in China, was unreliable, probably went off on it’s own”…

Back in the days before cell phones, my husband and I both had jobs where we were on call – kept hearing a weird noise in dining area next to our room, woke us up and we couldn’t figure out what it was. Went out to DR and he’d left his pager on vibrate and it was vibrating all over dining table
