Your mind is slipping, Opal.

Opal could put your shoes where you wouldn’t reallylike them to be too Earl.

Opal has a real problem…….what’s wrong with them being on the floor? No wonder men don’t want to remarry as they get older….geez!

Reminds me of a western movie where this guys wife didn’t want the kitchen chairs on the floor after a meal. She hung them on nails in the wall. The guy told his buddy don’t ever get married….you will have no place to sit in the kitchen.

She should have filled his shoes with Jell-o, And then watch the look on his face when he puts them on.

kreole, that’s actually a Shaker habit. Wonder where she grew up?

Might be a good idea in Summer – that and your underwear in the freezer.

Who wears underwear???

Earl you crack me up…lol

This time of year, you might want to put them in the oven.

Sounds like cold feet in the winter!

That’ll teach her!!!!

The logic escaped her!

I can just hear Opal’s tone of sarcasm. Earl makes life interesting for her.

Did they grow hair on them ?

I just love the way these two mess with each other’s heads…a long and deeply satisfying marriage. :] (Not everyone’s cup of tea, of course, but the best for those for whom it is.)

of course

LOL LOL, Earl is so funny.

@GhostkeeperI used to love Encyclopedia Brown when I was a kid. That was a long time ago. Good reference.

dayuuum, now the cheese is gonna smell like….

the old dude’s got cold feet

Come on, if it was July how many of us would do the head slap and think “Damn, I wish I thought of that!” Cool feet in the summer heat. ;-D

I once spent half a day searching for my watch. I had left it in the freezer. Don’t ask me why. I was only 20 then, so it wasn’t Old Timer’s disease.

I found my shoes under the seat in the car….who do you think hid them there?????

Oh, oh, Earl, that’s how it starts. When you try to make toast in those shoes, it’s all over.

No way there would be enough room in my fridge for an extra pair of shoes!

Quick on the comeback Earl.

There’s a Sandra Boynton song that is a lullaby and part of the words are “the chickens in the bathtub, the closet full of sheep, the sneakers in the freezer are all drifting off to sleep…” So maybe you shouldn’t look in the freezer :)
