    Earl is now copying Opal’s habit of long winded, pointless stories

    Don’t take his word for it. Verify that it’s out of ink.

    When someone needs my signature and their cheap stick-ballpoint fails, I simply drop it in their wastebasket and ask for another. I’ve never had anyone complain about my behavior, though a lot of them look kind of surprised. What, they think it’s going to magically work for the next person who tries to use it??

    Is that a pen in your pocket or are you …

    … carrying a handkerchief?

    Only a Plugger would have kept a pen so long that it would be out of ink… oops, wrong cartoon!

    Opal do you ever wonder why you keep him around? Man can’t even produce a pen when you need one.

    I guess being hateful to Earl is easier than checking the drawers of the desk you’re sitting at

    Is Opal left-handed, or ambidextrous?

    The ink in a Fischer Space pen will not dry up for a hundred years.

    What else will Earl find in those deep pockets? An M&M from his youth?

    I’m taking jackets to Goodwill and checking pockets. Scads of handkerchiefs.

    This is why you should take phone calls in front of a computer so you can type down notes into OneNote.

    I bet she has one in her bra, along with some linty candy and a ticket stub from that 1970s Beetles Concert.

    She’s left handed! She switch hands to write with her left.

    Reminds me of the joke about Mick & Paddy walking down the lane when it started to rail. Mick said to Paddy," Put up your umbrella Paddy." To which Paddy replied," There’s no point Mick cause it is pull of holes". Mick replied,“Why did you bring it then?” Paddy then said,“I didn’t think it would rain today Mick”.
