For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for February 22, 2009

When you’re ahead, remember to keep your mouth shut.

You stupid fool. Rule #1, never gloat when you finally make an accurate decision. #2, they don’t come that often. #3, they’re gone quicker than it takes to celebrate them.

alone can be arranged

Smart aleck. Should’ve kept your mouth shut John.

I see John still suffers from foot-and-mouth disease.

He’s not very bright, is he.

I’m not getting into this mess - again.

“You may be right! I may be crazy…”

I guess this is a “For Worse” moment.

What the heck Elly gets so grumpy in the bed? Does John know how grumpy she is in their bed? I don’t, either! John, ask Elly what her problem is? That is what your and Elly’s marriage for?!

John’s a coupla french fries short of a happy meal.

SHEEEESH! Is she a grouch!

G’wan, go join ‘Rose is Rose’ in the Dungeon of Resentment…

turn up the thermostat - it is definitely cold in that bedroom

We men all criticize John, but we did the same thing! Men only open their mouths to change feet …

Hey Wildmustang, every married couple has a moment similar to this scenario. It quickly passes. Don’t take it so seriously, it is a comic after all. Laughing is the optimal response.

How accurate that is. I do it all of the time. I even think before I speak, but still can’t resist making the comment that I know is only going to make matters worse. And of course it does, and of course I say “Why didn’t I just keep my bleeep mouth shut?”
