Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for November 28, 2020

Shame on you jay. Not knowing the color of that gorgeous woman eyes.

My significant other’s eyes are the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel.

Not surprised there.

I see a Monty Python moment coming.

Memories….

A fellow I’d been dating for months … long ago… once brought me a huge bouquet of yellow daisies for Valentine’s Day…

saying he just knew I wasn’t “a fancy roses kind of girl”… something I’ll probably remember forever…

and their brown centers “matched the beautiful brown” of my eyes.

 

OK, I did give him some credit, for bringing flowers… and trying to be thoughtful and original.

BUT… it was difficult, having to make myself sound appreciative… … because… well…

I LOVE red roses… they may be my favorite flowers, if I could even pick one favorite…

plus, I’m not sure any woman wants to be thought of as not fancy…

and my eyes are quite BLUE.

 

Worse…

For some reason we were stopping by at his mother’s house before we went out (another big red flag right there…)

and he was bringing her a smaller bouquet…

of red roses.

 

Gee, I wonder why it didn’t last.

What Jay should have said is “I don’t care what color your eyes are. They are the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen and that’s just one of the billion magnificent things about you”.

Old legends says that people with magic power have green eyes. So, I say she has green eyes.

It looks like Jay’s eyes are, well, black. So, actually, would her eyes be…

We’ve come a long way Dear Andromeda

We’ve got a long way to go, I know, I know

Interplanetary wanderers

Like comets around the sun

We come and we go

The stars are ours tonight

They sparkle and shine so bright

Like your beautiful eyes tonight

The stars are ours

This is where the phrase “sort of” comes in handy.

oh, what color are her eyes? and hey, he’s got a 50-50 chance

They are blue, I checked her driver’s license.

Oh, bad bad move Jay. Serious groveling will be involved in trying to make up for this.

Green. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYbmls7c8EM

My wife’s eyes are blue. I’ve known that since we first started going together back in 1993; we married two years later.

Who’s looking at eyes? Everyone’s staring at their phones.

I don’t even know what a ‘significant other’ is. Is that another comic strip on here somewhere?

So excuse me forgettin’, but these things I do

You see, I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue

Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen

Sorry been there, he is screwed, it took me a moment to reply and that was to long.

It can happen. I was filling out a form for a company ID card and they asked my eye color. Since my eyes are an unusual shade halfway between blue and green, I asked my wife what color they were and she thought blue. I asked her to look and then she said green!
