Gasoline Alley by Jim Scancarelli for April 11, 2011

You may want out of there before the evening is over, Kiddo.

“Le Pomme Fritte” on le menu translates to “the French fry!”

They might want the meal to be on him. Dumped on him.

Clovia’s wrap has gone from blue to rose…maybe it’s a mood scarf.

If Clovia and Slim are smart they will leave the restaurant before the big mouth does.

Actually, BuzzDog, “Le Pomme Fritte” literally translated is the fried apple (pomme being apple). Potatoes are “apples of the ground (pomme du terre)”, thus fried potatoes.

Can anyone else see where this is going so clearly that it makes you wince and want to skip over the next couple of weeks?

Slim’s going to order a Royale with cheese.

…or it’s just reversible!

If it’s reversible, I want one!

Yellow Peeps - haven’t thought of (or seen) one of those fish in a long time. They were pretty neat.

Yes, if you’re thinking what I’m thinking… I see an indecent proposal in the future, and Slim will have to weigh his love of Clovia against the prospect of one-million dollars…

Just a guess.

“Page Three, and a Diet Coke!”

Um, JanCinVV, I’m a native French speaker…yes, I know what the literal translation is, but the fact remains that the phrase translates to “the French fry.”

Which is FUNNY.
