Betty by Gary Delainey and Gerry Rasmussen for January 19, 2017

Come on, Betty! Now you’re being a total nag! Nobody breathes so loud that you could hear them while they are on a different level of the house than you are. You’re nitpicking!

All right, Betty. I thought it was rather much when you were complaining about his tapping, but there really and truly is NO justification for this! So, just what the bloody, bloomin’, blasted, blue blazes is REALLY going on?!? (Or, are you REALLY that much of a control freak??)

Everyone, calm down, take a deep breath and relax.

actually he fell asleep, he was snoring

you are existing too loud. Plus I am annoyed by the vibrations caused by your heartbeat. Please stop doing that, and keep your heartbeats and your existence to yourself (?)

Oh please

I really hope she’s just teasing him. But even if she were, that’s pretty mean considering all he wants to do is listen to his music.

Maybe she is just missing him. (My wife hated when I put on headphones and listened to music because she felt like I was somewhere else even though I was still in the same room.)

Once again she is completely in the wrong and it is not even humorous.

I think she’s just messing with him…

She has officially gone too far! Does she even want to be married anymore?

No comment on “not taping because he can not hear what he is doing”?

Is it a bad sign that I remember having a record player that looked almost exactly like that?

That night the pillow pressed hard against Betty’s face. It took a mere minute.
