Pickles by Brian Crane for August 29, 2023

Earl just how did one of your socks get on the ceiling fan ?

Do you ever listen to the things that come out of your mouth, Opal?

Have some fun Earl , Give Opal a vague guilty look, flinch and say , "Don’t Ask " !

It’s better to be lucky than good.

In later years, dad did the bill paying instead of mom. All the mail would be in a stack. When he wanted an bill he would go thru the stack one by one laying each piece on top beside the stack till he got to what he wanted. Then pick that 2nd stack up on put back on first stack. So what was on top is now buried down. Next time wants the recent one he blamed us for moving it because it was not on top, anymore.

I don’t want to know how it got up there.

The end justifies the means.

Opal’s flinging them up on the fan?

Guess the Pickles do not do the pairing up straight after the washing & drying…

“Sock it to me” (Laugh In)!

“Now get that sock off your nose, you look ridiculous!”

It’s called “man brain”. My husband was looking for the Mayo in the fridge. I gave him the exact location. He said it wasn’t there. I walked to the fridge and turned the jar around so he could see the label.

There was a woman in Texas a couple of weeks ago who had a snake just fall from the sky onto her arm, and then a hawk swooped down and pulled it off her arm

First I didn’t like the strip. But meanwhile I am really fond of it :-)

OK…….. I have a question

I like that better. :}

I don’t often lose things, but when I do, it’s because my wife moved it.

That sock, being where it is, reminds me of this joke:

Why isn’t your nose 12 inches long? … because then it would be a foot.

And there you have it……..plop!

The bigger issue is why Opal and other wives (otherwise pretty nice people) feel entitled to begin a conversstion with “Your trouble is…” The acid test of whether that is an acceptable and tactful wah to speak is to reverse the situation: “Opal, your trouble is…”

If socks and underwear stick to the ceiling, time for a wash.

This is one time Opal should have “put a sock in it”.

I keep thinking of Laugh In’s Judy Carne saying “Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me.” RIP Judy!

Definitely an omen

Pearl, it is a man-thing. Long ago a neighbor told me that her husband apparently thought a uterus was some sort of detector as he could never find anything and she always had to find things for him. BTW, ditto for using the toilet as a place to read – not sure why this is also a man-thing. Just my experience as well…LOL

“My problem — if you can call it that — is that my beloved is just too helpful.”

Of course now we are wondering how a sock gets onto a ceiling fan.

He DOES have a pretty large nose !

It is amusing that many of us would tear up the sock drawer looking for that one blue sock when there are several matching pairs at hand.
