For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for July 28, 2016

I’ve a bad feeling John’s gonna dumpster dive.

The worst laid plans…

John will soon be introduced to the phrase “Theft of Services”

This man is a total idiot. Don’t remember this story arc from way back when – what dumb thing is John going to do next? I don’t recall him being this stupid… If he has half a brain he will leave the watch and claim on insurance.

The bags are sealed. It’s his watch he lost.

Exposure to dental amalgam has finally rotted John’s brain.He seems to be suffering from dementia.I hope he doesn’t come across a half eaten box of doughnuts in that dumpster!

The man’s a professional Dentist. He can go out and buy a new watch for heavens sake! Of course if he did that, there would be no hilarity. He’s going to smell when he shows up at the church, I just know it!

“Watch out?” Just asking.

Car keys in the bin instead of just a watch, would have made more sense here. I don’t know why Lynn said she didn’t know how to draw them….

Why would anyone pay hundreds of dollars for a watch when a $2 digital can keep better time! (or was this before digitals?)

Those should have been sealed bags.

I’ve never heard of sealed garbage bags. You can close most of them pretty tightly, but they won’t hold air or water (or the smell). Please let me know where I can get the ones that seal. I could use them in the RV.

You can’t just throw away your time like that, John. ☺

I’ll say it again — John got the better; Ellie got the worse.

I bought one (relatively) expensive watch and it goes thru batteries and is rarely accurate, but it is nice to look at. I have an inexpensive watch that hardly ever needs new batteries and is very accurate and it includes some handy features (to me) like a second time zone, alarms and a stop watch. Both watches are about thirty years old and I only keep batteries in the “cheap” watch now.

@Jancinlv. I don’t think sealable garbage bags exist.They usually come with twist ties or drawstrings,however,if you tie them tightly in a double knot they rarely open,and are indeed sealed airtight.Using H.D. Doubled up bags also reduces the likely hood of spills or odour.

Back in the day when we glanced at a wrist watch instead of our phone to see the time. So no great loss these days.

I just bought a watch on E=bay for $10.99

you’re an idiot, John….

Ya know, I used ta love the Three Stooges! Now I can’t stand to watch the unrealistic, unbelievable stupidity. I think I’ll delete this one from my line up. Don’t need to watch the train wreck to know a crash is coming.
