Pickles by Brian Crane for November 27, 2022

Crane has been eavesdropping on my wife and me.

Like Clyde gave darn, Earl, while he was reading the newspaper.

Should have seen the last panel coming.

So … Can (Does) Earl hear his words echoing back at him?

Irony is it’s own reward

Yep, Um hmm!

Kamala speech. “I hear ya”.

Sometimes I can hear the person just fine and I still do that.

Two can play the same game! ☺️☺️☺️

“There’s no mayonnaise in Ireland” (No man is an island).

Good evasive move, Earl.

Just desserts apply here

I can hear perfectly fine. Why someone would ask me to help them put socks on a chicken I don’t know…

After hundreds of rock concerts, I can still hear ya’!

I use, Well, there ya go.

When telling a story, spice it up a little, see if they’re listening.

‘’… and the Grandson got straight A’s, then I buried the body out back, he’s quite a ball player too. Why one time…’’

As a volunteer driver taking seniors to various appointments.. I can relate to Earl’s technique.. I don’t even bother with funny stories, just nod and a few words like “yes”.. or, “oh my”. Deepest I ever got was with a.. “no, that is not right”. Word back to the office is that I am a great conversationalist and they love chatting with me.

Can you hear me now????

touche

Turnabout is fair play.

……….I hear ya!

Cool story, dude.

Must be an interesting story, the printed story that is.

Hoist on his on canard

Guess he had THAT coming..!!!

Often men’s hearing gets bad as they age. I don’t know any women who need hearing aids. Just my personal observations now that my cohort is old.

LOL!!!

I have a friend that is brutally boring on the phone. It is easy to tune him out. One time he said, "Are you listening? What have I been telling you?’ Busted.

I just think he wasn’t listening not that he couldn’t hear him
