The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for May 07, 2023

Yeah, go with that theory

And all those attractive women in the commercials are always dressed as if they were going to a gala, even if they are doing the chores.

You have a good guy there, Gladys.

There’s an old joke I’ve always loved.

A guy wakes up one morning after having had a few too many the night before. His head is killing him but he’s really thirsty so he pries his eyes open and is surprised to find a little cup with two aspirin and a big glass of water on the bedside table. He takes the aspirin, drinks the water, and lays down for a while longer until the room stops spinning. When he finally gets up, he stumbles into the living room to find that a lamp is missing and a patch of the carpet is wet. He hears his wife in the kitchen and figures he’d better go face the music. But when she sees him, instead of lecturing, she smiles, gives him a kiss, and tells him she’s going to go grocery shopping and his breakfast is staying warm in the oven. He gapes after her as she leaves, still smiling. ‘Astonished’ would not be too strong a word at this point. He hears his teenage son come in and turns to him.

Man: What happened last night??

Son: You came home drunk, tripped over an end table, broke the lamp, and puked on the carpet.

Man: OK, sure, but that doesn’t explain your mom… she left aspirin. And breakfast. And was smiling.

Son: Oh, that. We got you into bed and got your shoes and socks off, but when Mom tried to get your pants off, you kept shoving her hands away. She was getting really annoyed when suddenly you yelled “Leave me alone, lady, I’m married!”

There’s nothing quite like knowing for sure.

Now that I think about it, I don’t think I ever notice the people in pizza ads

the only pizza commercial I recall always had that annoying Papa John guy smirking all over the place

Some days you just luck out and remember what that ads was trying to sell!

Since I’m not the biggest lover of pizza, the reverse would be true for me.

Typical to have a beautiful woman cooking the pizza and serving it. I want to see an ad with a good looking guy doing that!

Sometimes there is a back lash against the promotion of pretty women to sell commercials. For instance I really don’t think in my opinion the pretty woman they are using to sell Buud Light isn’t really THAT pretty.

Now I’m thinking, was the pizza in an upper oven or a lower oven, and was that attractive woman shaking more than just her parmesan cheese?

Hey it’s pizza what did she expect him to remember? Unless the woman was naked why would he think about anything else, even then if the pizza looked good he might not have noticed her.

♫ When her moon hit his eye he just saw pizza pie…..♫

As they say on Family Feud…“GOOD ANSWER!”

Once you reach a certain age the pizza is something you can handle. A young good looking girl is questionable?

We comment all the time about attractive people on tv shows. Real cops and firefighters are not that pretty in real life, generally speaking.

One thing is for sure, Brutus is no dummy.

Some pizza ads have men in them.

Brutus knows what is good for him. Pizza tastes good, therefore it is good for him…??? Besides, I imagine Gladys wields a mean rolling pin…

That was the right thing to say, Brutus. You are loyal to Gladys, and she knows it, despite all the ups and downs of your relationship.

The other day while driving across the causeway I realized that I was more interested in the dogs being walked than the people walking them.

Well played Brutus – well played.

Brutus saw that one coming a mile away, and deftly avoided stepping in it. Well done indeed, sir!

Right answer – Virtuoso Supreme

Wrong answer – Tombstone…

@angelolady – I agree!

Butt… If her pizza is better than yours???

Frequently I ask what in the images of the commercial has anything to do with the product. More often than not – nothing.

Well he keeps his expectations low, the pizza is the only thing he can handle.

Maybe. Brutus has and always will be a faithful husband, no doubt. However, he is a man. As such, he will always have the biological drive to propagate the human species. So being able to discern the best female to accomplish natures design will always be there. All that being said, he definitely saw the probably very attractive Blond woman, no doubt about that. His grin gives him away. BUT he is more than wise enough to know how to deal with his wife’s inquiry. However, I am sure that it was a very good looking pizza also…..

Way to play stupid Brutus. You were playing right.

It has been said, the way to a man is through his stomach.

Several years ago my wife and I were watching the LPGA in Arkansas we passed where Natlie Gulbis was practicing and my wife said she is kind of cute isn’t she to which I said I didn’t notice

Low Testosterone poster boy.

Brutus is in perfect form today. Gives Gladys the right answer, then in the last panel he knowingly glances at us to convey that he knows how well he pulled it off — and that he knows that we know it too! Well done!

over here is would be for ham…onion…and pineapple…( yes pineapple..)

the eye wants what the belly wants. :g
