With those knees, she won’t be able to chase you.

“Oh sure, go and have fun. As long as there’s no homework.”

She already did.

It’s a step in the right direction.

“Shut up and get me another drink you loser”.

Even Bleeb hides from her.

She must bring home the bacon…Oy

Oh gosh dude might as well give her your pants smh

No! And we’re out of olives! Again!

It’s only funny because it’s usually the other way around…

NO ! It’s not ok with me, Creton, now get back in there and scrub that toilet.

As long as you don’t practice it at home – go for it.

With her, better to be assertive and not insertive.

Sad, just sad…. 5

" Ok Mommy Dearest, but don’t you want another Martini First?"

“Certainly dear… I appreciate that you want to become more assertive… I think I’d like the new, assertive you!

Now… show your assertiveness and go to the kitchen to fix momma another Dirty Martini… and to show even more of your assertiveness… assert some extra olive juice in that one!”

That assertiveness training course isn’t going to help. A d-i-v-o-r-c-e would be of better use!

I would love to have had this guy in one of my assertiveness workshops!

Keep serving her martini’s. She’ll let you do whatever you want!

Well, at least he’s aware he has a problem, so he’s not totally gormless.

You’re gonna major surgery first, to insert a spine.

Put a woman in an easy chair, give her a martini, and Holy Smokes ! It’s the end of civilization as we know it.

Even Bleeb is to afraid to try his usual obsession.

I say, go for it.
