Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for September 21, 2023

Oh, woe is you

Help me! Help me!

And badly, at that! I could have married that successful accountant, Roger, but I had to pick a nut case…my mother always told me that you’s\d amount to nothing, and she was sooo right…you’re just a worthless wastrel who never takes me anywhere…well, except that trip to France, but they didn’t even speak my language, and they had miserable food like snails and other weird stuff, and are you even listening to me????

Not only that, Milton, but it really bugs her.

The Snug Bug of Peace and Quiet is available for a limited time only down to Dennis’s House of Fine Stuff and Ladies Thingies.

“.. and in so many ways.”

My wife seems to express that feeling to me once in a while.

(as in “You should change your …” or “You’re not going to … wearing that, are you?”)

Good morning Balladeers!

Mr. and Mrs. Seth Brundle .

…and I WISH you would stop calling me Sugar!

Perhaps, but it’s minor compared to your reputation at the Ballard St Canasta Card club.

I don’t think their marriage is gonna maggot.

Nothing but trial and tribulation, being the husband of a mad chemist’s endless fussing and tinkering.

everyone says he’s a pretty fly guy…

It should… she drove him buggy.

Does he drive a VW Bug ?

He bugs me.
