Pickles by Brian Crane for May 10, 2023

Yeah Earl you’re probably not dead.

What mistake could there be, Clyde?

CLANG ! “Bring out yer dead !” Monte Python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdf5EXo6I68

With friends like him, who needs a doctor?

“I may or may not be really talking to you.”

Is Earl a zombie then? Credit card zombie?

His friend has a sort of “Sixth Sense.” However, Earl is no Bruce Willis!

Just think of all the people you can haunt!

To borrow a line from a great episode of All In The Family’ “This is Earl Pickles talking to you from the grave. Wish you were here.”

Well, he’s not exactly dead to rights in your case, Earl…

Well, in addition to it being a mistake it could be several things. A deliberate effort to cause trouble for him by someone who has hacked the system or the demise of someone who has stolen Earl’s identity (along with the identities of a dozen other guys) would both be ways it could happen without it being a glitch.

More than likely, Earl!

Poke him to make sure!

Barney Miller to Sgt. Fish.

We can only determine that it is a mistake after a serious investigation has been conducted.

Poor Earl. He’s the deadest man alive!

No problem, just switch credit card providers

Earl’s buddy is being cautious. He needs more proof of life.

“MOST LIKELY”.?

Did they erase your balance? If so, just get a card with another company.

When your dead everyone knows your dead except you. It’s the same with stupid.

Maybe they just meant he’s a deadbeat.

Probably?

From one goof to another…

Probably guys……….

If I’m deceased, I guess I won’t be paying my bill.

Many institutions will not close an account with debt or require proof, like a death certificate, if account owner is deceased. But they can make a data entry mistake and boom! Yer dead.

They will still send collection agents after you, if you don’t pay your bill!

Then if you owed them any money don’t pay them back, I bet they’d start calling a dead man then.

I have had this done to me twice. When I called to to tell them of their mistake, the woman on the other end asked " if I’m sure"

Thought the doctor said “diseased,” so I asked what the cure was.

Mebbee so, mebbee no.

“You know…. That WOULD explain the smell.”

Not exactly the ‘deadliest catch’.

Well Earl, my doctor did warn me there was possibility of hallucinations with this new prescription…

At my former church there was a man who had been an elder. I was positive that he had passed away. When I visited the last time he was at the door greeting people. I nearly fell over! :-)

Maybe Opal mentioned in passing that he was dead referring to romance in the bedroom. ;-p

Good thing I didn’t have a mouthful of coffee! LOLOL

Well, look at the bright side. There is a life insurance on your credit card, so you don’t have to pay your balance.

Call the EMT’s and ask if they have a thermometer; if it reads as room temperature, start digging
