Nancy Classics by Ernie Bushmiller for March 20, 2025

How did the bottom tear open….?

I can almost clearly recall an old expression about spilled salt.

If one were to take a pinch of it and throw it over their left shoudler with their right hand, further bad luck will never prevail.

In my many years, I have never observed anyone doing that with spilled salt.

“In yer face, Satan!”

What do you EXPECT her to do about it, you miserable old goat?? Besides, it’s YOUR fault for leaving an open bag where anyone could bump into it!

Serves ya right for keeping big bag full of it on a stool in middle of way.

That much will take a cup over your shoulder!!!

Hey, Seabass!

Well, Nancy, you can forget about being the new Morton girl…

And old superstition, but of little help to the grocer.

Fortunately even that much salt is very cheap. But Fritzi will be getting a call.

I can imagine Stan Laurel doing the same.

Good answer.

Well, don’t just stand there, ya old grouch! Help her!
