Pickles by Brian Crane for December 05, 2023

i’ll take the furnace filters, thank you

She gave him the gift of life. The prep before is so much easier these days. It is so very much worth the little discomfort.At least you can sleep through it and don’t have to endure the grinding and pressure of have a filling or tooth removal

It don’t get more personal than that.

We usually think of a personal gift as being something that the person is known to enjoy… or at least want.

PS: The colonoscopy isn’t really all that annoying. It’s the PREP that’s painful.

For those of you who can still HAVE this exam, thank your good health, good genetics and good luck. I no longer have that organ (not because of cancer, but a dangerous digestive disease that cost many in my family their lives…)

He should have been grateful.

She’s a real romantic.

Life is hard and then you poop.

I had my previous colonoscopy at age 65. Now 74, I have decided I’ll not go through the “prep” again. I helped my father do this every 5 years until at 85 and not being able to get to a toilet in time twice, he said to his doctor, “Never again!” I’m with him, even if a problem is missed, I’d take that problem over the “prep”.

They can’t talk to each other with those hair dryers running.

Why, the ungrateful @$$hole! :D

I once gave generous gift certificates to a close-by large shopping mall, thinking my female relatives would appreciate getting what they want. Oh, no. Apparently the thrill of returning gifts to stores for exchange or refund is was not to be denied. They were quite irritated with me. Is that part of The Feminine Mystique?

Still better than gifting him a cemetery plot!

Do you think he would like a DRE gift certificate?

Those are weird hats.

Impersonal, but practical!

What a witch. And a word that rhymes with it.

Colonoscopies for the Pickleses are 100% paid for by young taxpayers through the medicare scam.

That gift certificate is telling Earl shove it up your a**.

My daughter signed up her husband to man a table for career day at my grandson’s school. When she told him, he said how thoughtful, and to return the favor I’ve signed you up for a root canal.

That reminds me, I’m due.

Yeah, insurance covered that…

Get him socks. I got my grown grandson an early gift of socks, and he was ecstatic.

She’s a real PEACH that one…..

Most insurance covers colonoscopies (mine does anyway). I think because it’s cheaper than cancer treatments.

When you can’t stand your husband, the gift possibilities are limitless.

Opal is out for revenge….there’s no doubt

Oh,opal….u romantic u‼️

The greatest gift Earl gives Opal is putting up with her meanness.

I got my parents a septic tank. Double reinforced.

I just wonder what kind of relationship there is between these two people and how their marriage lasted as long as it has.

Love is a many splendored thing…..

That could bum anyone out.

I recently applied for a loan. I was shocked at how much information the bank required. I gathered all the documents and included the color photograph of my colonoscopy. I hope they got a chuckle.

This has to one of the best ones ever. Got a great laugh to start the day with this one.

A lot of you folks missed one of the best comic moments ever by trying to be so realistic. Why do you even read comics LOL.

Can’t get more personal than that!

Imagine … all last year … Earl kept telling folks to end so-so conversations … put it where the light don’t shine.

“….There is just no explaining some men.”

Mine only got me a gift certificate for a vasectomy.

Yea, imagine that. Three days of drinking swill, not eating and having a snake crawling around in your butt. Joy
