Which reminds me of an old story about Winston Churchill (or G B Shaw) who asked a woman if she would sleep with him for a lot of money. When she agreed, he asked if she would for a considerably smaller amount. She indignantly told him, “No. What kind of woman do you think I am?” His response was, “We already know that, we are now just haggling over the price!”
Back to today’s strip, the thought of walruses comes to my mind.
@Mikie, not walrus (only Jerry is so hairy). Burl’s shirt says it all – beached whales. In the summer I’m around my house in a swim suit all day when not going anywhere. If I just need something generic I can be lazy and go to the 24 hr grocery near my house in that, with a color coordinated caftan; I just do it at the dinner hour or really late (when I’m unlikely to run into friends).
@Finale, That was my first thought when I read it too. When I do it I’m just happy to skip any fussing if I just need an item or two, and my caftans are pretty. Mesh suits are great for work outs in the summer (long johns in the winter) but I cover more for outdoors;-P
@Anniebody, I just now checked and yours arrived right after my daily bank balance for Saturday abd I had not yet read either. I’ll answer now and send you that recipe. You are right; the cable is .net.
@Turtle, yes, the T’s are usually relevant to the joke. In this case, Burl’s SAYS Great White Dope (takeoff on Hope) but changing the last word altogether it could be Great White Whale as that would be the effert of those gals in swim suits (beached whales as we saw them reclining even in their slacks just the other day).
@ Dave, I read your comment a few times and still think she meant “pay her” in installments so a lage deposit would not draw attention. No woman would PAY to do that. Even I would go to the time and trouble rather than pay to do what I have done.
@realist, because I know. Seriously, because wide neck to slip on easily leaves straps showing. And with me, even my glassware is matched to my outfit.
I just realized that I confused Burl abd Dale (as I thought Burl was next to Joy and I was still sleepy when I first arrived.) I also see stuff I misspelled (glad my email has autocorrect :-)@Susan, I am VERY partial to all reds and oranges (so I’m well prepared for tangerine being popular- having at least 3 sweaters, slacks and other things in that light orange. I have some black slacks and one silk turtleneck but no more -not a single LBD! Even all my old busness suits have color Black and white are for accents and I were very little brunette colors (extra bright or yellow and green) as I’ve always been some kind of blond.My heraldic device is red and blue with both gold and white/silver (divided by a gold chevron it has a field of white stars (of any number) on blue above and a white cockatoo “close” (in profile) on red below.

I asked this to my wife, she said under two conditicons:
1. There will be no cameras or pictures taken while she does this.
2. If they let her pay the $1000 in three smaller payments.
Good morning Crustwoodians!! Good morning SusanSunshine wherever you are!

Considering the fact that Dale is willing to always call first when playing Rock, Paper, Scissors over the phone with Burl, his answer is no surprise.

They arrested a guy last night in Glendale, Ca. for driving around with out any clothes on below his navel. I will leave the rest to your imagination.

Hullo Crustwood —
As I just posted on another strip, my internet connection went out about 1am, when I was in the middle of posting here….
It’s been intermittent since I got up, cos my ISP is replacing a down router.
I’m having a busy day, besides, so I just popped in to say hello.
Yeah, Mikie — I’ve seen that quote attributed to a lot of people and no sign of a definitive source.
Thanks, Dave.
Dazz, that’s probably why so many of my clothes are black. And I’m not one of those people who worries about whether the black is the same black.
When people ask what colors are in my living room (or kitchen or bathroom) I say …“huh?”
I do wear things that go together…. but I’m not completely fussed.
I also draw and make things, and make jewelry, so it’s not that I don’t love colors. Problem is I love them ALL.
And Dave was just making a joke about his wife paying, rather than being paid as we expect.
And Gyms\Shoe - now you blew it.You commented…. so you won’t get the $500. Sorry.
OK, gotta run.
