Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for October 02, 2021

A woman will ALWAYS let you know what you did wrong

ok at least he’s rich so he couldn’t be stupid.

How many people reading this would get eggs at a “market”? Or in other words, when I go to the grocery store, I’m not going to a “market” in my own mind, I’m going to the “grocery” or the “grocery store”. How about you?

PS: We do in fact buy some of our eggs at the Farmers Market, but we buy the use for baking eggs at the grocery store.

2 rules for a happy marriage – Rule 1 Your wife is always correct; Rule 2 Refer to rule 1

It’s better than putting pepper in the salt shaker.

When you make a typo, the errorists win! (thought someone would’ve brought that one up by now)

Who still uses Checks?

The thing about retired people is that their “honeydo” lists are longer than when they were working.;-D

Three SnortS!!!!

Is that all? Last time there were at least 7 things on the list.

That’s only in one hour!

Sounds like my house…!

As we become legendary in our Earthly journey my Wife, of some 49 horridly looooong and tumultuous years, and I constant play the game of who is becoming senile first, you left the oven on, you did not shut the refrigerator door, you left salad on the counter and around we go, kind of fun if you are demented.

Wiley must have a spy cam in our home.

For those in Europe you are too young to remember payments by cheque/check, have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheque. When I moved to Switzerland I tried to use a (British) cheque to open a new account. The Swiss bank clerk had never seen one and had to ask her manager to help her process it. That was in 2003.

Quit bothering me with details.

Are there still people using checks? It’s either an app, plastic or bills now here.

Bank cheques for really big things like buying a house

Luckily, he’s parked right by the front door for a quick escape…and run to the market.

I bet Uncle Joe could correct those market errors with a few extra trillion tax dollars!

“But, Hon, it can’t be overdrawn – I still have some checks left!”

If a man says something in the middle of a forest and there is nobody there to hear him, is he still wrong?

Nobody else can use those cheques, I signed them all

Well, at least we know home land security is watching.

And now he has egg on his face. Life’s hard to take at the slow end.

Story of my life.

“And god created woman to tell the man what he’s doing wrong.”

Naggingism?

Cartoonist probably EAST COAST.

Write checks? Can’t tell you the last time I wrote one. Don’t know where the checkbook is at the moment

Been there, still there.

So, tomorrow’s breakfast is going to be a “no fry” zone.

At my house it is called “motivational Speech”

On concretetionist’s observation;

Gentlemen and Ladies go to ‘’the Market’’.

Ruffians and scalawags, go to the ‘’grocery store’’.

… and, you’re at the wrong house!

You didn’t sort the recyclables and set out the trash.

Just another day of marital bliss. Just say “Yes dear”.

I was walking out to run errands. She said, pick up some milk. I said okay. Oh, she said, get a loaf of bread, too. Fine, I said. Just before I walked out she said, better get some eggs. I said, whoa, let me write this down. Two items is my memory limit.

NPR has a weekday-evening radio show called “Marketplace”, hosted by Kai Ryssdal, and that ain’t the kind of market they talk about there.

The Engineer went to the grocery store. His wife said to get a loaf of bread and if they have eggs, get a dozen. He came back with 12 loaves of bread and no eggs.

I don’t let my husband do any of those tasks. He would do them all wrong too. I buy groceries, pay the bills and he has no idea where the salt is in the pantry. He is an “engineer”. Software engineer.

How many people think he did all those things wrong on purpose?

OK. But my biggest error was saying, “I do” instead of “Oh, heII no!”

We call it a supermarket here in Aus!

We can’t agree on how to load the dishwasher, so I just let him rearrange it after I’m done.

years ago, one Thanksgiving my wife needed thyme…she ran out … so she sends me to the store, and took my 6 and 5 year old grandsons….we returned an hour later, i’d spent like $50…..and forgot the thyme

That could be my wife.

It’s not the word I would use, but I totally understood “market” to mean grocery store.
