Pickles by Brian Crane for October 17, 2022

If you aren’t sure you’re going to like the answer, maybe you shouldn’t ask the question.

Well lubricated is good…

“Do you want me to save it so you can look at it later?”

Roscoe waxes perplexed!

Now go wash your hands.

Never ask an idiot what he has on his mind.

Roscoe takes it all in!

Earl is waxing eloquently again!

I LOVE IT ! , The Precious Roscoe in todays cartoon , just super : ) That sleepy face in the first panel is so cute : )

“Well, Opal… it really bothers me when you ask me about my personal thoughts or beliefs, and then use it later on to mock me in front of the readership.”

Gross in your ear!

The look on Roscoe’s face seems to say…“And then he touches me with those fingers…EW!”

Opal should know better. Don’t ask a man, especially Earl, what he is thinking, because he may tell you.

Gotta be careful with share your thoughts or you’ll be sleeping on that couch, Earl.

How ROMANTIC..!!!!! ❤️

No, that is what’s leaking out!

What is going on in my mind?

Did Darth Vader really change to be good? Anakin killed “younglings” to protect his family. Darth killed the Emperor to protect his son. Same problem, similar solution. The only difference is the guilt or innocence of his victims.

These are the kind of answers that got my wife to stop asking what was on my mind.

What deep thinkers men are. I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer. The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing and I said ‘nothing’. The reason I said that instead of saying ‘just thinking’ is because she would have said ‘about what’. At that point I would have to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics which would lead to other questions.Finally I thought about an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts? Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts.Well, after another beer, and some heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question. Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby; and here is the reason for my conclusion. A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, “It might be nice to have another child.” On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, “You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts.”I rest my case.Time for another beer.

He wiped it on the couch, didn’t he?

Lordy! Opal is steamed! Not the response she wanted to hear….☺️

Early Fleetwood Mac “Oh Well”: ♪ But don’t ask me what I think of you. I might not give the answer that you want me to. ♪

Monique Marvez got it right when she said, “Men are simple and delusional and Women are crazy and complicated.”

Even the dog is grossed out!

Go ole Roscoe…he never misses a thing!

Well, Opal, you DID ask him.

Better than this earworm, I say:

It’s a world of laughterA world of tearsIt’s a world of hopesAnd a world of fearsThere’s so much that we shareThat it’s time we’re awareIt’s a small world after allIt’s a small world after allIt’s a small world after allIt’s a small world after allIt’s a small, small worldThere is just one moonAnd one golden sunAnd a smile meansFriendship to ev’ryoneThough the mountains divideAnd the oceans are wideIt’s a small world after allIt’s a small world after allIt’s a small world after allIt’s a small world after allIt’s a small, small world

Hence the expression: too much information AKA TMI. Some just THINK they want to know what is going on inside our minds.

I had a girlfriend that always asked “what ya thinking”. I tried to explain that as a man I could turn my thoughts off and just relax. She just laughed and keep asking what I was thinking. Im no longer with her.

Ear Candling anyone?

Earl could and should a club with fellow literalists Jason Fox and Pig from ‘Pearls Before Swine’.

I hate ear wax

Earwax: The pediatrician’s nightmare. You absolutely have to look in this 2 year old’s ears; they’re plugged with wax that has turned into cement, his mother keeps whining “You’re hurting him”, all while he has ripped an earring out of the assistant’s ear and repeatedly kicked you in various sensitive parts as he tries to bite you.
