Red and Rover by Brian Basset for July 30, 2024

This will take a ….. while!!!

;-)

oh maaaan…..

Good thing it’s not Lee.

Haven’t seen or used a phone book in decades

There is a Ruby in the Andy Capp strip. She is married to Andy’s best friend, Chalkie White. I have mentioned there that it would have been more appropriate for Chalkie to have married a Pearl.

There was a silent movie actress named Pearl White who starred in both “The Perils of Pauline” and “The Exploits of Elaine”.

Does he know her address?

That’s a huge Summer project, Red! It’s better than forgetting the last name, which is what I thought at first!

Well, that narrows it down!

Busted, we were bad , we made crank phone calls till one lady recognized my voice. Grounded again! Ha still laughing about it.

That’s going to be one long search

…..that’s half the phone book!!!!

Good hunting,there,red‼️

“Smith,” the most common name in the world.

Like counting licks to the softer candy center of a certain brand of lollipop.

Red, you’ll be back in school with her before you’re done calling that list.

Dial, dial dial…

Hi! Can I speak to Ruby?

Ruby who?

Sorry, wrong number.

“Click!”

Dial, dial dial…

Hi! Can I speak to Ruby?

Ruby who?

Sorry, wrong number.

“Click!”

Dial, dial dial…

Hi! Can I speak to Ruby?

Yes, this is Ruby! Is that you Red?

Sorry, wrong number.

“Click!”

Oh no!

um… oh dear… :{

That’s like looking up someone named Cote here in New Hampshire.

Stalker in training?

LOL… I have not had a ‘phone book’ in a very long time. Could come in handy, along with the Yellow Pages, if / when the grid goes down. OH… Cell phones won’t work, either. But, the old land line phones might ;)

A phone book ? What’s wrong with Google ? Btw good luck tracking her down under Smith

I’ll bet there’s more than one Ruby Smith.

It couldn’t be Ruby Sunday or something cool?

Red ….. does she take the bus …… which one, what roads/streets does it cover ……… might help ……. :)

After losing track of my best friend after high school, I tried googling him using his full name, which I thought was rather unique. Found out there are hundreds of people with the same full name. Sigh.

I found out there are dozens of people with my name. My eye doctor pulled out the wrong chart with my name.

I have cousins named Smith.

Wait! Wasn’t her maiden name Gonzalez?

Ya say ya didn’t see that coming?
