Pickles by Brian Crane for August 25, 2022

You can’t fix it with an Earl.

The Tines They Are a-Changin’.

Before that, Earl was using it to fix the toaster. That’s why his two hairs are standing on end.

Poke him with the ruined fork!

IF the disposal isn’t working, how it ruin the fork?

“We” know, Earl? I think you mean “I” — as in you — know.

Process of elimination. Must rest, recover, and regroup before making another attempt.

He should have put it in “The Junk Drawer.” Mixed in that morass, it might not have been found by Opal for years.

Take your wins where you find them

Earl you are not Thomas Edison …

He probably just needs the Allen wrench that came with it to unjam its works. Fits the underside and then work it back and forth until the grinding blades move again. If that doesn’t work, call the repair guy.

Forks have other uses.

On the job training, Opal!

I never had a garbage disposal, we use the dog!

Earl knows better. Just roll it up in paper and stuff it in the wastebasket.

If their city offers compost bin service get rid of the disposal (may have to pay a plumber to remove disposal change the pipes).

What is this “WE” crap..??

That must be the “royal” we that Earl is using. Opal had nothing to do with the destruction of the fork in the non-fixing of the garbage disposal.

lol

that’s the way Edison worked

What will be the words of the repairman? Can’t you solve it yourself?

Lol! Hysterical!

Why oh WHY is there no “complete Pickles” collection!

he doesn’t know what the fork he’s doing

If you eat off of it or use it for food prep, it’s not an appropriate tool.

I just use a broom handle…

Took me a while to remember the little reset button on the bottom of the disposal, too..

Give it to Uri Geller; he can fix it.

Our house was built in 2013. We bought the house in 2017 because we did not want to take the time to build our own. In early 2018 our contractor special disposer died. As did our dish washer and the water heater. The first time we attempted to light out gas fireplace, it died.

The fork looks like a new style food whip.

For goodness sake call a pro!

Atta boy Earl…that is progress! Ain’t it?

Most marital problems can be fixed with a good forking.

Progression…now we try a knife.

Try a crowbar next Get that possibility out of the way.

I installed a new garbage disposal a few months ago. The old one lasted twenty years. “Fixing” it with a fork means you’ve crammed too much waste in it.

another great one

I laughed longer than I should have on this.

What about a tuning fork, Earl?!!
