For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 17, 2025

Wait a minute. You put a toilet by the window and Michael falls in the window and he doesn’t land in the toilet? I think there was a comedy opportunity missed here. Let’s try that again with the seat up.

Next time, it would be better to just knock on the door

Is it the death of MP???

Would she really have wanted to smash a good table lamp??

Gawd, that woman is creepy! I wonder how she looked in her young years.

That woman is a bit of a bee!

I think he got sober pretty quick!

Dingle doesn’t see so good with her teeth out.

Mike’s just lucky she had a lamp and not a gun!

NO ONE wants to wake “the dragon.” :D

You don’t mess with Mrs. D…

Uh-oh… That’s the look of somebody who’ve heard all the excuses and I’m pretty sure she ain’t buying Mike’s excuse!

Haha… Mike is lucky she didn’t own a gun. The outcome may have not been so funny ;(

Ok, so there’s ONE reason why you should put the seat down. In the event that someone breaks into your bathroom window, which is situated just above your toilet, and he slips and falls, he won’t drown. If he’s a thief, I’d say that’s one of the hazards of the job.

Mike continues to think to himself – " Mrs Dingle is in just as ugly a mood when woken up in the middle of the night as she is at mid-day."

And yet, there she is, totally woke.

Death by bedside lamp, a good tragedy story it would not be.

You don’t want to wake up and aggravate the landlady, Michael!

Yeah Mike, people don’t start out that way, but some of the oldies surely end up that way don’t they. It’s like Indiana Jones says “It ain’t the years baby, it’s the mileage!” ;-)

Makes my landlady look like Mother Theresa.

Ever.

I had to enter a house on e by climb8ng in the windows and my foot got wet. I looked down and saw that I’d stuck my foot in the toilet bowl since the toilet was right underneath the window and its seat had been left up. To me the only worse bathroom faux pas is to finish your shower and leave the middle knob set on shower since it doesn’t automatically reset back to bath so someone comes on and gets hit by a blast of water from the shower when they turn on the water. I have had this lifetime ph9bia of 3 handle tub showers and here I am 60 for God’s sake!

Why do I hear Universal Studios horror film music….
