Pickles by Brian Crane for September 06, 2020

Yeah. And my taste buds aren’t what they used to be either. The ADvantage is that I now like some things that used to be too strong-flavored. The DISadvantage is that I now can’t taste a lot of the subtler flavors that I used to really like. Ah well: I’m here to complain about it, at least.

How would one lose their sense of smell by getting clunked on the head?

I have a lousy sense of smell. My wife on the other hand is like a hound dog. She has an acute sense of smell. I’m the fortunate one when the dog farts—she gets it full blast whereas I can hardly smell it. Lucky me! :-)

Ah, the smell of Easy-Off oven cleaner!

So, that’s no cookies then?

The smells are all the stuff Opal baked, and spilled all into “one” whiff cloud….drifting….

This would have been a lot better with Roscoe and Muffin in one or two of the panels . But that is just me . : )

Earl now walk backwards into that sign. To reverse the effect ;-)

Yesterday I told my wife I smelled something bad. She suggested I take a shower.

“My dog has no nose.”

“How does he smell?”

“Just awful.”

Apologies to Monty Python.

Back in my college days, I had a buddy of mine steal a Thou Shalt Not Steal sign from a Safeway.

When using our self-cleaning oven the fan has be turned on the whole time (even in winter) because the fumes irritate my senses terribly. His head must have taken quite a knock to think it smells good.

If you walk into something and “conk your head”, the most forward part of you hits first and that is your nose. I had a female friend who befriended a con. He abused her, beat her up. She had two black eyes, and he claimed she walked into am door. I said “If she walked into a door, her nose would hit it first and her nose is NOT injured. You beat the crap out of her.” I then beat the crap out of him and paid for him to take the next flight back to Toronto and never come back. I said “If you want to stay healthy, never come back.” My brothers and I do take kindly to men who abuse women.

Max Headroom. :-D

She is using high temperatures and catalysts to oxidize food into ash. It is the same process she uses while roasting and baking.

He’s got the RONA! RUN AWAY!

Earl, can you smell peanut butter in both nostrils? If not you may be getting senile.

Don’t you just hate those oxymoron signs.. “Watching your Head” distracted you.. you should have been watching the sign so you would know when to duck.

I once lost my sense of humor for a month when I got conked.

Yeah, I tripped over the ‘Watch Your Step’ sign once.

My parents got a self-cleaning oven when my dad remodeled the kitchen. My mother didn’t understand that it cleans by cranking its temperature to 600 and burns the grease to ash. The first time she used it, the house was filled with a noxious grease-fire smoke. I can’t imagine that ever smelling good no matter how hard you’ve been hit on the head.

I was out on a date one evening and were walking outside. We passed by a small industrial plant that emitted a foul odour. I made a casual comment. “Gee, that’s a bad smell.” She immediately started talking about her lack of luck find a good deodorant and that she had tried everything. Not kidding!

Did you folks notice that Opal has on a different color than purple? Still has polka dots though.

Twice, and ability to taste anything goes away with it
