Pickles by Brian Crane for August 30, 2012

Hum a few bars and I’ll pick it up…Personally, I prefer the boot jack. It gets me out of some tight spots.

When I told my 3 year old son “It’s called a shoehorn”, he picked it up and tried to blow it. We then had a short discussion about all the things called “horns” that are not musical instruments. Short, because he really didn’t care.

What good is a boot jack? There are no tires to change?

No it only plays foot notes!!!

Blow your own horn, Nelson.

Betcha Earl could play it with some sole!

" Play misty for me ".

Do shoes grow on a shoe tree?

Earl could play O sole mio

Play “soft shoe”.

sweaty feet + leather shoes + shoe horn = foot farts!

Sadly, as Earl has informed Nelson as to what this item is, he too young to know what else that Earl might pull out of his hat at some later time; like the rotary phone, transitor radio, a “church key” that used to open beer cans, etc. etc.

Hahahahahahaha!

And the kid-size ones are called hornets.

“Can your boot jack help put on your boots?”

No, your jack takes them off, your horn puts them on. If you want to do both you need a Little Jack Horner!
