Instead of sardines Earl could have been eating beans Opal.

Not sardines — but kippers!!

;-)

When did Earl get the sardines? When Opal asked him to do the grocery shopping and he just grabbed random items instead grabbed Opal’s list or forgot it?

An older couple were out for a Sunday drive in the country when the woman looked over at her husband who was driving: “Pa, remember when we were younger, we used to sit A LOT closer together.”The man looked over at his wife: “Ma, I ain’t moved.”Credit: Jerry Clower

Not sardines. He just hasn’t bathed in a month.

My father was partial to anchovies.

“No, nattō with anchovies.”

Opal is the romance killer, no wonder Earl sits at the end of the couch!

Yes my dear, I have been waiting for you with baited breath!

Opal you got what you asked for !

Instead of sardines, it could have been beans, or cabbage with lots of spice. And in the end, Earl would have been Earl, and it might not have been so nice.

When my Mr Man plops on the couch beside me i yell SOCIAL DISTANCING

No the cat just walked into the room.

There’s no making her happy…

Last time I had sardines was in the 60s. Had an acute case of “munchies”. Also polished off a full box of box of saltines.

Be CAREFUL what ya WISH for……

….and NOW you know, why they don’t SIT close to each other!!

Which is worse, if he says yes, or no?

Earl can’t win for losing. Pearl wants perfection?

It’s not his breath she’s smelling. :)

I’m eating sardines on crackers as I read this. But I’m in my own office and hopefully not offending anyone. Until I sneak the empty tin into their waste basket.

The important thing is, Earl got punished for doing what Opal asked him to do. She’s a ‘wifenemy’.

Can we change subjects here

guess the bald guy with the ponytail pet psychologist is still recovering from muffin

Nope, just haven’t showered for a few days.

Well, Opal sure knows how to spoil the moment.

Nope. He’s just been kissing Aunt Chovie.

That’s why older people smell all the time. They just can’t stop farting.

Earl should blame it on the cat.
