Pickles by Brian Crane for January 04, 2020

At that age, men tend to have an orchard growing out of their ears.

I would hate to have an hair plucked out of my ear by someone else without my permission.

She’s got a sadistic streak. Of course he is an expert at passive aggression.

It must have been a pretty long hair for her to get a hold of it with just her fingers. :-)

“Replace ‘thank’ with a four-letter word, then you’ll be right.”

“Probably, but the phrase coming to mind would get us thrown out of family oriented comics.”

That’s a no-no. Bad things can happen with no-no’s.

no, the phrase would be “Don’t you have anything better to do?”

And this is why you buy her a Swiss army knife for Christmas. Those little scissors are great!

No pain … no gain ;-)

I don’t think that’s the word he’s looking for.

All this can be easily taken care of when you get a haircut…women, waxing….ouch!

If I had plucked a hair out of my wife’s chin like Pearl did to Earl, she’d have been ticked off.

Earl should get the Panasonic electric nose,ear clipper

Opal, you don’t want to KNOW the phrase Earl’s searching for !!! lol

Iiicckkk!

Could be worse, like on TV when drunk Molly plucked out one of Mike’s nose hairs on their first date. Ouch!

That was an ingrown hair… it used to grow out from the top of his head.

Yeah, thank you… for agreeing to a divorce!

I don’t think they can print the phrase he’s thinking of.

I do! (more like a bush though)

A perfect example of women’s never-ending quest for beautification and improvement … of their spouses!

Use CLIPPERS.

What a wuss. Now nose hairs? Those suckers will make your eyes water.

Be thankful, pal. My wife uses our hedge-trimmer.

I try to get barbers to pluck my ears. That used to be part of the service but now they won’t even do it if you ask. They want you to buy a waxing job.

What really freaks me out is the stuff many older men have growing in their ears that looks like mold or moss. I suppose it is hair, but it forms a surface and, oddly, it gets a greenish cast. I took a class at a museum on Saturday mornings, and there was a guy there with the green mold ears. I tried never to sit near him, but it seems he always changed seats and wound up in front of me and, try as I may, I couldn’t avoid staring at his ears. Then last month, I went on a trip to India, and for 16 days, I went through the same experience with our tour guide.

I don’t thick that was the phrase Earl was reaching for . . .

And here we go again with Opal’s aggression and attitude.

Not the phrase I’d’ve used.

Now, that is true love.

OK, thank you for the pain and suffering.

“Thank you, Madame De Sade.”

My wife did this exact same thing to me just 2 weeks ago! Ouch!

If some geneticist could devise a way to keep the hormones where they belong, there would be no need for Viagra…..A fortune to be made…..

I think the phrase he was searching for was, “Don’t you know what scissors are for?”

One at a time ain’t bad.. but pull a bunch and it will bring tears to your eyes.

My wife used to really enjoy snipping my nose hairs. When she went up my nose past the second finger joint I tended to get a bit skittish…

Earl. You can always get back by pulling out a chin hair.
