Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for December 08, 2024

…and what an adventure that makes…

I’m a big fan of those booths in shopping centres that do it for a gold coin donation. I just drop a twenty or a fifty on them, o get a coffee, and come back to it being done better than I ever could.

After wrapping over 10,000 eBay sales of used games with two layers of paper for shipping I am an excellent wrapper!

Yeah, that look right there!

Ah, weaponized incompetence.

“Somebody will do it for you?” That’s just code for “a family member, not the recipient, will do it for you”.

I must shop in the wrong places, I’ve never found paper that could (w)rap let alone talk!

i don’t even have to adopt a pitiful expression. my wife will intervene at the mere mention of something that requires dexterity… ☺

SIL decided I would help her wrap presents while brudder was banished to the kitchen to make cookies, since, according to her he couldn’t wrap a present even if his life depended upon it. He went snickering quietly, and I was snickering quietly too. Wrapped a present, and, low and behold, it looked just like what I was supposed to wrap. SIL got an annoyed look on her face and asked, “What is that mess???” Brudder jumped out of the kitchen, “She taught me everything she knows about wrapping presents!” Banished to the kitchen to help him.

We’re both in there with a teaspoon each of cookie dough, almost in our mouths. SIL, “AND Don’t Eat the Cookie Dough!”
