You and your big mouth, Earl.

Earl seems to be a slow learner. After over 50 years of marriage, he should know better.

Open mouth, insert foot..\\//_

My favorite saying, Earl: “Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy?”

Pearl is sort of an old poop

I’d rather sleep on the couch and be right.

And Earl’s right: It is pathetic.

Sometimes the truth slips out of our mouths before we can stop it – no matter how many years of marriage !

Earl probably couldn’t figure out how to turn on a computer.

Farcebook friend isn’t a real friend anyway, unless you actually KNOW them in real life and associate in real life.

Silly me! I took the strip as Opal had just started her Facebook account and letting people know she was on it. Not begging for friends. I give the old lady credit. I’m in mid 50’s and have no idea how to start a Facebook.

Earl should know that he doesn’t have to sleep on the sofa. If she doesn’t want to sleep with him, she can take the sofa. Besides, it’s incredibly rude to bring your computer to bed.

Hey Puddymom! he is not the only one!!! and yes, Grog, it IS pathetic!!!

Face book…Bach-Humbug.

What’s with all the double posts today?

Earl is right. It is pretty pathetic. He should stand his ground, it’s HIS bed, too. If she wants to sleep separately, SHE should go to the couch.

Their next argument is going to by WHY Earl didn’t accept Opal’s friend request.

I refuse to join Facebook.

Why should I when I have plenty of wonderful friends on GoComics?

Online friends are still real friends. When one of them dies… It can still cut your heart in two. Believe me, I’ve been there.

actually, i was thinking of this as a case of open foot, insert mouth
