The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for January 19, 2025

A hundred dollars well spent.

The man wanted spaghetti! And what does he get? Overpriced pastry-wrapped beef. That’s a Born Loser for you.

On his salary?

As we can plainly see ….. the “boss” has spoken!!!

/SHMIRK\

I heard spaghetti. So, 2 orders of spaghetti and 2 orders of the beef wellington. You read our new policy, once the order is taken items cannot be removed. Enjoy the 4 meals.

Atta girl Gladys

And, fortunately, there is no mother Gargle to agree with her daughter.

Brutus can order some spaghetti to go…

“and I thought I knew what I wanted”

A man’s life is so much easier when his wife makes up his mind.

Ya think Brutus should have known by now.

I feel awkward ordering for husband, but his dementia means he can’t remember for more than a minute what he decided he wants. And that decision took way too long.

B, you’re out of your noodle if you think you’re getting what you want tonight.

Genius! Made me laugh out loud! ;-)

Good one! She dangled that right in front of Brutus and then snatched it away. Gladys must be in a very patriotic American because, like our government, she believes in deficit spending.

And a fifty percent tip will be added to your bill.

So much for having what he’s having….LOL

You knew this was going to happen!

well, it went from what he’s having to what he’s being told to eat. :J

Meh, whatever he orders, she’ll have it right off his plate. Po-taa-to, po-tah-to… ㋛

Hey. What’s an additional $150 on an over bloated Christmas Credit Card bill. Eat, Drink and be Merry for tomorrow you may die. And you will wish that you were dead when the new credit card bill arrives…..

Maybe they throw in the Yorkshire Pudding for free

I’ll take my two burritos for $5.

OK, ask again, and remember this time, she paying.

I’ll have the Chateaubriand, medium rare.

When my parents go out to dinner together, and the server comes to take the order, my dad just holds the menu up and points to what he wants, so Mom doesn’t know what he’s ordering. That way he avoids incurring disapproval for “unhealthy” choices until they’re brought to the table and it’s too late for her to be able to do anything about it.

I’ll bite. Love it. 100 bucks is cheap dining. Almost McDonald pricing for two.

Waitstaff always sounds hungry. I think they often are – I have asked a few people are/were waitstaff. Being too full slows them down.

Took the words right out of his mouth.

Now that that has been decided, what’s for dessert? De ja vous?

let’s hope that brutus doesn’t have a beef with that… ☺

Gladys will have whatever Brutus is having…that is, if Brutus is having what Gladys wants.
