Pickles by Brian Crane for January 20, 2015

Well go to the grocery store and buy yourselfsome more Earl!

Thank you Brian Crane. I’ve been telling people for years there is only one ‘r’ in sherbet. The ‘sherbert people’ are winning. :(

Perhaps if we start pronouncing it sher-BAY, it would gain more acceptance.

i always hear it pronounces as “sor-bay” and there is most definitely one r in it

knollege isnt what it’s cracked up to be

Whoa! Slow down there, Hoover. You’ll give yourself brain freeze. (Sherbert Hoover?)

Say, “sorbet” (sor-bay) is different from “sherbet”— the first, fruit ice (or frozen fruit juice); the second, fruit ice with milk, gelatin, or egg-white. Consistency is different.

So glad, though, to see a strip devoted to consulting the dictionary to adjudicate word spelling!

Herbert!

Can I have a bowl of ice cream, please?

I’ve been trying my entire life to help people understand the difference between ‘lie’ and ‘lay.’.Total waste of time and effort.

Win money in Vegas it’s either…" Winner, Winner Chicken Dinner " or " Push the Sherbert Over to Herbert "

I just think they’re both funny … and so lovable!

Sure, Bert. I mean – Earl… Opal has your ticket punched before you even get out of bed.

“yes, there is a huge difference to getting lied to and getting laid”.yet many lie about the latter.

One of my pet peeves. The other is people who add “hot” to term water heater. Arghh! If the water is hot, why heat it?

That’s Opal for you! It’s who you married.

Sherbert and Ernie!

Or add an R in Washington. It’s WASHINGTON NOT WARSHINGTON!!! Sherbet and sorbet are entirely different things.

Being a Knight of Columbus from Maryland, for two years we had a State Deputy named Sherbert. Every year at the convention, at least until he left office, he would dole out gallons of sherbet around the atrium after the business meetings. Started out as a campaign gimmick; became an identity gimmick.
