Heck, Opal,you can jump that far can’t ya?

Not and live. In a manner of life worthliving afterwards. Here comes the fireDept.

Pretty soon there’ll be two stuck on the roof.

His plan is working perfectly!

How do you get down off an elephant?You don’t get down off an elephant, you get down off a duck.An Eider duck, to be exact.I never did get that joke till I moved to Europe and discovered that an eiderdown is called that because they used to be filled with Eider duck down.

You can’t clobber a man for a good pun.

Old joke. Still works.

Earl seemed a little blue, and that pun surely perked him up. I guess in this case, ladder was the best medicine.

Y’all know where this arc is heading, don’t you ?

Get a roof that grows down and your problem is solved..( Okay for the six humans on earth who don’t know, down is a fine feather used in pillows, quilts (I think) and quilted winter clothing. Or it was before we realized petrochemicals made better insullation.)

Jeff Collier saidEarl, you are doomed!!

Somehow the puns don’t slide off the tongue as well in German.

With all that fat… Earl will need some luck.

When you’re handed a straight line like that, you have to pull the trigger on the joke no matter who it’s aimed at.

Earl won’t be able to get down either, wait and see lol

Did anybody notice that Opal either moved to the other end of the roof or to the other side of the ridge?

Nobody would blame you, Opal!

xxx

And the kids came crowding around shouting with gleeAn old woman up on the roof for all to seeThe whole neighborhood woke up that dayJust to find out if she was up to stay

This is one of the funniest storylines yet!

no time to be making jokes

Hilarious
