Pickles by Brian Crane for October 13, 2009

Some ifs are easier than others to find out.

Hearing aids do make nice ear plugs. Never without mine.

What if she finds out you aren’t listening and decides not to make your dinner?

What if she hits Earl up along side the head and says ” ARE YOU LISTENING” ?

I think Opal’s overdoing it with the dumb questions. Go find something to read Opal.

… understanding cat talk?

When you are talking to a deaf man from behind a newspaper don’t expect much of an answer.

Earl is my hero?

What if Opal let Earl read his newspaper in peace. Then he wouldn’t have to turn off the hearing aid.

What IF Opal quit nagging poor ol’ Earl every chance she gets?

Then silence would be golden.

Or better yet, what if she finds out he’s not listening and DOES make his dinner?

Hey Earl, there you go! Hummm, you forget to open the battery door from your hearing aid so you will not have to replace another tiny battery to insert in the battery door of your hearing aid next time. Wink! Go Raaahhh!

I have old stupid hearing aid to waer on my right ear, but I cannot live without wearing that hearing aid anymore.Oh my! Nowsday, the worth of cost for brand new hearing aid is about $2,000 dollars or more. GASP! How can I afford to have a brand new hearing aid? I don’t have any $$$$ for it.

Hello Fellas! I recently read some comments from any of you about Wal Mart on the strip of Pickles yesterday. Macushlalondra and EarlWash, I think I agreed with you guys about Wal Mart. I think the headquarter for Wal Mart in Arkansas are such a fool for wasting the money on products that would not sell very much. When those products were not selling well, the prices had to go down or “markdown” so the people will buy them or not. That is up to them. I need $$$ for my living but other than that, I don’t care about them at Wal Mart. I tried to apply for better job but it was not easy to find one I wanted. I thought they would not hire me because I am a hearing impaired and would have more difficult to communicate with me while work at better job. Right now all of those people who lost their jobs in the past need to get another jobs so they need to live under the roofs than live on the street with that weather conditions. Enough for now! Hope all goes well! G’day!

what if Earl also manages to keep his mouth shut for a change…

What if Opal says something nice and you can’t hear her? Too bad…so sad.

What if Opal says something …NICE?
