Pickles by Brian Crane for May 08, 2024

They will stay stiff until you wear them.

Maybe you need to be kicked with them first.

Careful, Earl. You’re on a slipper-y slope.

Or are the slippers rejecting your feet?

I have a John Deere hoodie that is 25 years old. It has holes and tears in it and looks miserable. But I would not trade that hoodie for anything this world could offer. It is the most comfortable piece of clothing I have. It is like an old friend that I will never abandon!

I remember when Levi’s made good jeans. I’ve worn them until they were ragged. The more worn, the more comfortable. Now they are made out of thin fabric in Mexico. The last pair I bought didn’t even make it one year.

Slippers with socks?

You would think Earl is old enough to buy his own clothing. His wife should leave him alone with these slippers!

When I was very little, shoes setting on the closet floor seemed to me like the heads of creatures with their mouths agape. Kinda still do, actually.

I have an old chair that is like a family member!

…and the Cause of Death listed on the certificate was ‘boredom’.

Let Roscoe chew on them a while. That’ll soften them up.

At least they don’t have bunny ears, like Opal’s.

DEAL with it

When is Opal going to replace her bunny slippers?

As long as you’re kicking them off, how about a nice pair of mules?

How I feel about my slippers, the insole’s lining is gone, but still I keep them, always wear them in the house. Soles and uppers are still good, had them for years.

unless the slippers are running away cause they don’t like being on your stinky feet… :}

Maybe the slippers don’t like where his feet have been?

My late husband preferred wearing his old, ratty, torn, disgusting track pants to the new ones I would buy him. He said that the new ones were “good ones” and could not be used for everyday wear.

Let her oversize feet break them in for you … she’ll adore you that she earned your trust.

Put them back in the box, and the box on a shelf for a couple of months.. that way you only have to worry about the stiff part.

Nice thought anyway Opal. Your intentions will only get the boring yawn from Earl. Try not to do anything for him because you won’t get thanked at all.

New Slippers are too slippery.

I always save old shoes for at least a couple of weeks or until I’m sure the new ones work out.

Socks with slippers?!!

Real bad foot odor.

My husband had a pair of ripped old jeans he would not get rid of. I buried him in them.

Face it, the older you get, the more attached you become to your old anything.

You folks realize that teens pay top dollar for rags. I’ve seen kids who looked like their clothes went through a shredder.

My wife bought me some house shoes, size 13, when we first got married 21 years ago. Sadly, she didn’t know my shoe size was 10-1/2. I still have and still wear them.
