Pickles by Brian Crane for January 23, 2010

He’s about as good fixing things around the house as Dagwood Bumstead.

I feel the same way every time my husband wants to fix things.

My closet has sliding doors. With one of the two of them usually coming off, it’s annoyance to get it back on.

Successful in making it worse…sounds normal for you, Earl.

Not even a little victory.

Maybe He should use Opal’s black marker and write BROKE on the door

“It is never cheaper (to do it yourself) by the time you’ve bought all the tools and materials at the DIY store’s prices, broken fingers, got divorced, put nails through the pipes and flooded the house, and put nails through the mains cable so that everyone who touches the new coat rack you’ve put up in the hall ends up on their backs staring at the ceiling of the spare room. … The cost of getting the experts in to mend everything after is too much. Pay them in the first place.” – Mike Harding, The Armchair Anarchist’s Almanac

WD 40 or Duct tape, wonder fixers.

She Who Must Be Obeyed says. “Thats all right Dear. I’ll get someone who knows how to use tools to fix it right.”

She shouldn’t have broke it in the first place…

Hey, Earl, ask the neighbor.

Jakebb2 - It really should be baling wire, believe me, my dad could fix anything with those 3. Of course, being a farmer during the Depression in KS made one a bit more resourceful.
