Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for May 06, 2024

You couldn’t make this stuff up

Punctuality is her middle name…..

There’s something about women named Doris…

At least he got the worm!

And call someone else.

I’ve had this experience.

He should be calling every 10 minutes.

It would sound sound like my wife, except I am apparently the only caller that her phone can’t pick up. Its a technological mystery.

When a woman says “5 more minutes”, think 5 minutes left in a 1 point game with both teams having all their timeouts.

When I got my house in Fullerton, CA, I also got a landline (1981). The number had belonged to someone named Doris. She had a lot of male friends who called late at night, generally drunk, generally little English. I convinced the phone company to change my number.

Doris goes by a different clock.

I don’t think Doris is going to show.

My Ex had her own time zone.

My father always had to be at least a half hour early for everything. My mother was on time, but just barely. It made for some interesting exchanges. I am somewhere in the middle. And if you want my sister to be on time, tell her the event starts an hour earlier than it really begins.

I’m surprised Shoe puts up with this kind of nonsense.

After the second half hour Shoe should’ve gotten the message. She must be one good lookin’ bird.

My ex-wife is like this. She wanted season tickets for the opera. After two times being late that we could not get in until the first and later second intermission I just toke her that I wanted to see the opera and was going. She did not make it until the second intermission. She was in time for the rest of the season. We did not get tickets after that season. She would be late for her own funeral. Being habitually tardy is a sign of disrespect from the tardy party.

Shoe, take the hint. Doris, block Shoe.
