The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for March 06, 2025

Do you have dish soap? Clean a spoon!

I’ve actually been there. That’s why I drink straight from the bowl.

Be grateful, think about the people in war zones.

C’mon what would it take to wash one spoon?

What, no grilled cheese sandwich for dunking!!!!!!

If you would have made a grilled cheese to go with it you could have dipped in the soup and most of it would be gone. But if you can’t manage to clean a spoon or just drink it, you probably wouldn’t get around to making the grilled cheese.

Seriously? He can’t even wash a spoon?

There is a fine line between hilarity and disgust when it comes to total idiots. He walks the line.

So he is using a fork. Tomato soup is sorta thin so it might be cold before he finishes

Too much trouble to wash one?

Tomato soup is thin enough that Brutus could just use a straw.

When life gives you lemons….Wait! Let me start over. When life gives you tomato soup make Bloody Marys.

Oh fork it.

That is why they make mugs.

Born Loser or Born Lazy?

Come on Brutus! Even Andy Capp could manage to get someone to clean a spoon for him!

start sippin’…

I have mine with a pack of saltines

Brutus can’t wash a spoon?

That’s as messed up as a soup sandwich

and the sink is waaay over there!

Or you can do the unthinkable…wash one!

Dirty spoon vs clean fork. For soup. You’re the Born Loser, not the Born Lazy. Either wash one or pick up the bowl and sip. Reminds me of a funny family story. Every Friday I have a lunch date with the 2 of our 3 daughters who live in Columbus. We split the chores – they select the cuisine and Dad pays. One day the choice was Vietnamese food. So when I got near the end of my pho I picked up the bowl and drank from it. In full view of the other diners, the Lord and a host of heavenly witnesses. Of course the phones came out and pics of me with the bowl covering my face were widely circulated.

OMG!Thorny,Thorny,Thorny you should always have a package of plastic eating utensils just for that occasion! This made me laugh out loud! Good one!

It gets worse. You forgot to include the basil.

That is why you pair tomato soup with grilled cheese. An alternative way of getting at the soup.

There’s an obvious solution here that would take about 3 seconds implement… Butt you are “The Born Loser”!

Lots of bread to sop it up. Actually, that sounds like it might be today’s lunch.

So, run into the kitchen and wash one!

Story of his life is he can’t get up and wash a spoon? Or is this just a lazy strip?

Have your wife teach you how to wash one spoon. Sheesh.

Spoon? Mouth – drink it Brutus.

Where’s the bologna sandwich to dunk in it?

Could’ve been worse if his only option left was chopsticks.

“Then clean one, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry,

Then clean one, dear Henry; dear Henry, clean one."

But not without solutions my friend and l know that you will consume that soup. I have faith in you……

How to eat tomato soup with a fork: Make a grilled cheese sandwich. Break it apart and place it in the soup. Let the soup soak into the sandwich and eat the result with a fork. Class dismissed.

If only there was a solution…

( –‸ლ)

That’s what the wife is for! (sarcasm)

Put it in a mug and drink it like coffee.

So wash one, geez

Can’t clean a spoon ?

Ever heard of “Go wash one”.

You’re not getting a lot sympathy here. You went through the trouble of heating up the soup, but can’t muster the energy to wash a spoon!

I guess you’re still wore out from painting the house.

You’ll savor it longer with the fork Brutus .

Felix said to Oscar, “When I came here you were hunched over the sink, eating gray spaghetti with a pair of tweezers”

uses a dirty spoon

well, i’d wash a spoon

Maybe someone should suggest he wash a spoon.

Let it cool for a bit, Brutus, and then just drink it from the bowl.

“… It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife

It’s meeting the gal of my dreams

And then meeting her handsome beau"

Is rinsing a spoon on the spot forbidden in your household?
