Pickles by Brian Crane for November 17, 2024

Why lie? It’s not his boss calling.

I do that too, then it comes back to bite me!

Note on fridge to wife from husband:

Honey, someone from the gyna colleges called. They said the Pabst Beer was normal. I thought you did’nt like beer.

He must have pulled that pen out of his butt.

My mum did that with math. It was quite impressive!

I did not inherit her math skills.

How long before this message gets erased?

Some of us just don’t answer it. If it’s important they’ll leave a message.

Before we had a serious talk, Hubby would leave a phone number on the fridge. That’s all. Just the number – no name, no message, no nuttin’. When I got to wondering why so-and-so had never called back, he’d say, “Oh, they called last week. I left the number for you.” Aaagh!

Message soon forgotten!

Wait. How do you spell that?

Poor Nelson….he’s going to be the most screwed up kid when he grows up

Roscoe knows Earl is not taking any notes . You can see it in his wide open eyes.

I have NEVER got a fly like that on MY pants, nor have I ever seen one.

You can leave a message but I might not tell her.

He’ll tell Opal hours after she got back “Oh, I forgot to tell you that someone called but I forgot what they said.” ;-p

REALLY bad example, Grandpa…

Looks like a cell phone – why is he answering her phone if that’s the case? Thanks to scammers, I don’t answer the phone if you’re not already on my contact list. Leave a message or text me – if you want to talk, schedule a meeting.

AMAZING isn’t it.????

Earl is a brat. No cookies for you!

My older brother used to do that. “your doctor called” “WHICH ONE?”

Attaboy Earl…..

Darn! My invisible pen ran out of ink!

His gesture … familiar somehow.

All adults have one of those pens! haha

That looks like a cellphone. So either someone is calling her on his phone, which makes no sense, or she left the house without her phone. And if it was her phone, why did he answer it?

“…or he lies well.”

It usually helps to say, “Now read it back to me.”

Cell phone is there, where’s Opal?

Nobody calls my phone looking for my wife.
