Pickles by Brian Crane for February 12, 2019

Sounds like Earl is familiar with the “five-finger discount”.

Uh-oh. I’ve heard that before concerning secret girlfriends, too.

It is almost Valentine’s day, so Earl should hide some chocolate as well.

Roger that. And I like stealing a cookie better than being given one.

Well Earl if you found the candy , find the stove and take a turn cooking !

It’s the challenge Earl likes, such a bad boy!

Why does Opal feel the need to hide things? She knows darn well Earl will find food or treats ….she likes the banter….

My dad would not have agreed with Earl.

You know….the whole forbidden fruit thing there…."

Opal is always hiding treats from Earl. She is very selfish. My wife doesn’t. She says what is her’s is her’s, and what is mine is her’s.

I did…..this is the LAST piece.

So he is actually hiding it from HER…

Like food always taste better if it is free!

PJ & I don’t raid each other’s stash. We each have our own chocolate stashes (not to mention our own coffee & coffee pots because he drinks cheap regular & I drink dark roast hafcaf).

Purloined fruit is always sweeter.

And forbidden fruit is the sweetest of all. Just ask Eve.

Like stolen melons?

It’s the thrill of the hunt.

I love Earl! Opal, eh.
