Pickles by Brian Crane for June 11, 2020

“Business in the front, party in the back” – both can be busy.

Spin around and see if they both jiggle.

get reinforcements, Opal, like Pearl and/or Sylvia

The only thing missing are the white socks. And please no Hawaiian shirts, or ‘….and all i got was the lousy T-shirt’

I enjoy walking along behind some people who have busy bottoms…

Translation: “Stop, you’re confusing me.”

I hope Earl’s busy bottom doesn’t mean he is a man on the run!

Opal’s just being a busy body.

The rule I learned was “two plains and a fancy”, referring to the suit, shirt and necktie. You can wear a striped, plaid, checked or patterned tie, a striped shirt, or a plaid or pinstriped suit jacket, but only one of those things; the others have to be solid colors.

I think “three plains” was also discouraged. Looked too much like a uniform or something.

Walmart Chic ?

Just don’t walk beside Earl . That way nobody knows you are related ;-)

I have busy hands for your busy bottom.

continuing her rant from yesterday’s strip…

When I have a busy bottom, I like my privacy.

What’s his bottom busy doing?

If you see something you don’t like, don’t look. If you hear something you don’t like, don’t listen.

Maybe he’s a “Busy-Body”

I wear what is comfortable. I care nothing for fashion. If you want to laugh at what I wear, then I at least made you smile.

I had a high school teacher who told me “A clash is class.” He’s still a friend and 50 years later, he’s still practicing what he preached.

Oy! Opal needs to explain in simpler terms…do not mix prints with other prints! Got it?

I am reminded of some of the pants I wore during the ’70s… Some of the shirts, too.

If you are wearing a busy top and busy bottom, doesn’t that make you a busybody?

When you get to the frumpy stage, the rules don’t apply, Opal.

He already knew about your plain bottom.

Doesn’t matter how you match those trousers, they are ugly.

I consider it sweet that Opal still hasn’t given up on giving social tips to Earl despite currently batting 0.000.

How more personal can you get than marriage!

I have some busy bottoms and like to wear them-usually with unbusy tops, I am sad to say. I have folded and follow the rules-mostly.

It’s not my busy bottom that gets me up in the middle of the night!

Over the years, “fashion” has put dots with stripes and paisley with stripes, etc. Seems almost anything goes. My Hubby did the same thing. Often he was quite a sight when we traveled, but he was comfortable. If he asked me, I’d make other suggestions. Can laugh about it now!

Like an old married guy would think his business isn’t her business too.

If you have a busy bottom, they have medicine for that.

I know if she just used the correct term for the clothing (patterned and stripped) he would hopefully understand, but then it wouldn’t be funny now would it?
