Pickles by Brian Crane for April 11, 2018

I think you left your pants on the floor, Earl, and the Roomba just happened to snag them.

To the dustbin, Earl, where they should have been taken long ago.

At least it did not rip the pants off your body.

To a better place where they can live out their lives as rags.

It’s programmed to dispose of dirt!

Probably to the cleaners.

Aw, it’s got a security blanket now!

Biggest and best laugh today.

It’s alive!

To Rosie the robot.

I didn’t know those things were programmed for hazardous waste disposal.

Where’s the dog and cat? Where’s Nelson?

Brian! Not while I’ve got a mouth full of Cheerios!

Had one a few years ago. Before using, I had to de-clutter the floor… all chairs up on the tables as well as footstools, wastebaskets, dog toys, and throw rugs. It was easier to just use the “Hoover” and kick those things around during the process.

Mine dies after 2 minutes. I buried it in the back yard with my dogs.

That is the fun thing about robots, they have a mind of their own. And that robot has decided to start taking out the trash…

I read an article recently that said in 1968 (50 years ago), it took about four and half hours to clean the average house (three bedrooms, two baths). But, due to the modern conveniences and appliances, it now takes only approximately four and half hours to clean the same average house.

A good reason to hang your pants up, Earl!

I have one of those vacuums and it got hold of a ball of yarn that fell on the floor. Took me quite a while and a pair of scissors to get it all untangled.

Next he’ll taking his socks out to bury them.

If that Roomba does laundry too…im getting one!

I solved the vacuum cleaner problem many years ago. For over 40 years now, every home I’ve ever owned, if it had carpeting, I replaced it with tile and/or bamboo flooring.

Throw rugs are easy to take up and beat/shake when I’m washing the floors.
