Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for November 03, 2022

Spatially challenged

Both Merwyn and Fluffy wish that Gertrude would curb her enthusiasms just a tad.

Her husband was very attracted to her – he thought she was a real knockout …

next time, just cuff her before going out

Still trying to figure out how Fluffy got propelled into the street by a leash.

With that backhand she could take on Serena Williams.

Good morning Balladeers, (((((Plods))))) and Miss Susan.

Assault and battery by extreme enthusiasm.

You would think by now, he would walk 5 paces behind or ahead….

Gertrude is an odd name for an Italian.. Nothing against Italians but stand back when they talk.

She just loves Ethel Merman, that woman could really belt one out…

Is this supposed to be more polite than pointing? :)

RHETORICAL QUESTION

Her kind of exuberance is masking hidden anger. She can apologize after the fact. All is forgiven. The man she walks with is a masochist. They all need therapy. Hmmm, must have touched a nerve. Sometimes I also feel like being ‘exuberant.’ :-p

It’s harder for women who live with men with expansive gestures.

The residents of Ballard Street have learned to carry raincoats, if they think they might be seated next to her at dinners.

OOPS! Got too close, coldcocked again.
