Marlene, there’s always John Wayne Airport in Orange County, CA and their noise abatement program. The first time I flew out of there I thought I was going to die in a plane crash. The plane roars down the runway, leaps up into the air, and suddenly appears to have engine failure and is going to crash into the ocean. Only at the last minute did the pilot reapply power and we flew on. Whew! Shoulda warned a boy!
The pilots are told to fly low over the penny’s house. They hope it makes them not want to fly anywhere again. We used to go watch planes land and take off, but since 9/11they fenced off the area and no one can park and watch anymore. Didn’t notice the noise though.
Penny’s hate everything don’t they. (except food}.
Then get Miracle Ear……remember to turn ‘em off when airplanes can be heard approaching. You’ll still maybe get most of the juicy stuff from across the hedges, plus your own inane converse…….
Well, you see folks, some of the passengers on those planes are readers of this strip, and since there are only two restrooms, the planes have to circle while everyone gets a chance to use them and flush while over the Penny’s back yard. .(It’s largely harmless. Much of it lands in the pool, which is so disgusting already that it hardly makes a difference.)

For a man with no ears, he sure hears well.

Can you imagine having the Pennys for neighbors? Suicide would be the only solution.

They can’t hear each other but they can hear someone unwrapping a hamburger! LOL
