The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for April 05, 2022

I have the same worry, bro!

What Gladys really means is, “if I bought them, I’d eat them, and the hell with Brutus”.

Gladys is right. He needs to support her, and he’ll lose weight, too!

She’s good at sharing the misery

Brutus wants to support your diet by eating the cookies himself.

Just get in a car Brutus, drive to your nearest grocer and buy a case of your favorite cookies!! Then, let the jocularity – begin!!!

/O_O\

She did buy cookies and already ate them.

It shows just how well you don’t know him. But personally, I’ more into potato chips than chocolate chips.

Translation: “If I’m going to suffer then everyone will suffer.”

I always support my wife when she’s on a diet. Eating the treats before she can get to them is the sacrifice I make because I love my wife. ;-)

Shhh! Don’t tell Brutus she bought some cookies and ate them all herself. Being the loving wife Gladys is, she was only looking out for his weight. ;)

Hey, Brutus, ole boy, but you’ve got reason up front to cut back on cookies, too. I’m speaking from experience, here.

Click yes to accept cookies.

i don’t eat cookies, but i still accompany my wife to the supermarket – who knows which chocolates she might forget to buy…?

her heel is healing quite well, thanks for asking, and she’s able to drive and hobble around by herself now. at the home center the other day the friendly cashier saw that she was solo and deadpanned, “where’s the pack mule?”

Life with out cookies, what will happen to all those girl scouts and elves?

Glady’s does not know Brutus very well at all. Never ASSUME. I wanna cookie trumps temptation.

Hey Brutus, It’s Girl Scout Cookie time of year. Maybe Hurricane Hattie joined a troop.

Gee, you’re welcome…

Kudos to Gladys for resisting the temptation to say, “You should be.”

“My girlfriends a vegan so that pretty much makes me a vegan. But I do enjoy a tasty burger!” Jules, “Pulp Fiction”.

my wife said the same thing yesterday must be catching

I know how Brutus feels when I was wondering why the bag of potato chips was in the garbage can.

But when they go out to dinner, she will “taste” half of everything on his plate.

If Brutus wants to be supportive, he can eat his cookies any where else, or just accept that she is right and they both should eat healthier. I assume there is no problem that would keep Brutus from buying his own cookies. I would also suggest he bake some with his son, but the smell of homemade cookies would not be kind to Gladys at this point.

When my wife is on a diet, I’m on a diet.

Maybe I sound a bit active feminism by saying why does the man seem put out because his wife forgot the cookies at grocery shopping? Sheesh just jump in the car and get some. Maybe the grocery store is a long drive away, but you can get cookies at the corner convenience store. They are even open 24 hours a day. Back in my younger days when I smoked ciggies it was called the smoke shop. Naturally they also carried candies and chips and cookies for the kiddies because you might have had to bring the kid along in the car. My gawd nowadays you can even get them at the little shop at the gasoline filling station.

I would remove the temptations from you by eating all the cookies first so that you wouldn’t suffer, because l AM the good husband…

Ah Brutus, at least stand up straight, and suck in your tummy, when you say that.

She knew she could not resist them especially during a diet. She also knew you would not want to fight for them.
