Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 27, 2021

I believe somewhere in there is the sigh of a contented woman.

My son wanted to know what it’s like to be married.

I told him to leave me alone and when he did I asked him why he was ignoring me.

My wife and I have been married for quite a few years and my wife asked me recently to get some pills that would make sure I’d be up to some action in the bedroom again.

I brought home diet pills.

Apparently that was not what she meant.

what a pleasant way to give the wife the option to continue the “conversation” if she is up to it.

In the last three panels, Janet’s derrière has grown significantly. What can this mean?

With hips like those, no wonder Arlo is waking her up in the middle of the night…

Arlo’s elbow at her waistline, hand at her thigh. Worked for me.

She must have uttered those sweet little words a husband longs to hear-“Fine, but if I’m sleeping, try not to wake me up!”

Being a “Macho MAN…trying to never let my feelings show….” well I finally give in to my feelings. Instead of Bye take care to loved ones, as they leave or I leave….it now is Bye Love You. You really never know this day and age where this could be the last time you can say it to them. That even goes to the sleeping partner in your bed.

I’m going to get up the courage to try that tonight.

When we were first married I would often be asleep and my wife would softly say “Are you awake?” I was conditioned to wake-up from a deep slumber and be ready. I still am. I’m a guy, I didn’t want to miss anything

But it was okay for Janis to wake Arlo up the other day by throwing a large suitcase on the bed? I would never live with someone like her.

Once again, I don’t get Janis!!

Ok, this is for any and all of you wonderful people that did not get the diet pills joke.

For your edification I am going give you a very brief introduction as to how humor/jokes work.

The basic principle of humor is that it is unexpected in some way.

In jokes, for example, a situation is painted, expectation of a result is set up, and then a different result produced from from that which is expected.

In this case the wife wanted the husband to get Viagra thinking that the reason the husband wasn’t “frisky” was because he could not raise the flag, so to speak.

The “different result” – instead of Viagra the husband brought diet pills insinuating that the wife was fat.

Which every male in the known universe knows is a HUGE no, no and always is funny (up to now anyway).

Another example:

Wife ask husband if the dress she is wearing makes her butt look fat.

Husband gives no response as he’s busy reading the newspaper.

“I SAID, does this dress make my butt look big??”

Without looking up the husband mumbles “No”

Wife says: “You know, research has shown that women with large butts are smarter”

Husband: “Ok, Einstein”

not a day went by that y husband and i didn’t tell each other “i love you” several times a day for almost 23 yrs. since he passed away 15 years ago i still tell him “i love you” several times a day!!!!
