Pickles by Brian Crane for June 21, 2023

Yet you keep on sitting there, Earl.

I often envy those guys with extra padding back there. My boney rear end hates those hard benches.

When they made squishy benches, people complained a lot louder than that.

A man of the moment…

Where Earl’s grand philosophical question loops back to his bottom basics…

It is ergonomically designed to make you wlk more.

Love these old boys on Pickles.

Sometimes Earl and Clyde seem to be in parallel universes.

Especially when you’ve run out of Preparation H.

“Why am I soft in the middle, now?

Why am I soft in the middle?

The rest of my life is so hard…"

Of course, it isn’t his middle that Earl is concerned with.

Would you want to get out of a park bench that was just right?

Earl has piles of fun with preparation H.

The covid years saw most waiting room chairs go from a variety of padded or soft seats to functional plastic seats without cushions – very hard to sit for even a short wait. Guess they were easier to clean every day, which became the norm during covid.

“Keister”……. now THERE’S a word..!!!! (LOL)

Next time, bring a cushion.

Perhaps a hammock

Earl doesn’t “deep” think…his @ss is killing him on that bench!

Another sign of the times. They don’t even make keisters like they used to.

Life is hard compared to what?

Or coming up with a password that has 8 letters, one number, capital letter and special symbol.

Bring a pillow, dummy…

I feel like an @ss for assking, but I want to get to the bottom of this. Are a boot-ee and a high knee the same thing?

Unfortunately, not everything for we old geezers.

Besides Transcendental Meditation was a big thing in the ‘70s and as useful as it’s high double digit inflation.

There’s a reason church pews are so hard. I just don’t know what it is.

Aldous Huxley once wrote a novel “Antic Hay” which featured a guy who invented trousers with inflatable pads for just that problem. I’m not sure why they are not available on eBay. Maybe it’s easier to just complain. :)

Sorry Clyde, you’re talking to a man of very little sophistication.

ow

It’s the universe’s way of saying, “‘Hey, let’s see how well you handle constant frustration and confusion!”

You tell it, Earl! Once you get old, all kinds of thing hurt where they never used to!

What covid? Oh, you mean when America cooperated with China to attack our freedoms?
