Drabble by Kevin Fagan for August 06, 2023

This is where Ralph came in.

That’s an expensive drone you have Ralph

Honeybunch! you’re such a Chatty Cathy we’ll never know what Ralph saw when he looked at the odometer!

And forget the rest of the week because she’ll probably forget it anyway. Unless she runs out of gas.

Poor Ralph…never got a chance to finish his story…

and we have a few words in edgewise…

What’s this gas gauge thing?

I feel his pain!

You mean my wife isn’t the only one?

My wife NEVER fails to look at the gas gauge, in her or my car. And when it’s time to re fuel, guess who does the deed!

Had a pickup where the gas gauge was hidden by the steering wheel. Ran out of gas 3 times over the years. A light on the dashboard comes on in the Jeep when I am at around 3 or 4 gallons. Also got a digital read out of Distance To Empty.

wonder who all clicked the “heart” button on this strip?

Don’t start that again, Ralph. (Also why do people anymore interrupt you mid-sentence with what they have to say? Are they afraid they’ll forget that thought when it’s their turn to speak.)

Happens to me all the time

There used to be a used car dealer near where I worked in the. Car Parts Business.

I was interested in one of his cars and asked him, “How many miles does it have on it”.

His answer, “How many do you want?”

I get this allot too. It takes so much focus to remember what we were saying when our ADHD other cuts in with their tangent that goes on forever and when you cut in to tell them they cut you off they get upset and insist they were cut off. If you do what Ralph did and wait for the other to finish then it’s “All the sudden out of left field” or “I thought the subject was over..” Because you said it is??

I never go shopping with my husband. It would be inefficient and frustrating. And I never talk to him as much as Honeybunch talks to Ralph.

And here we go again, hopefully this time she’s run out of gas.

Very patient, Ralph.

Poor Ralph. He probably had a cool odometer reading, like exactly 10,000 miles. And we’ll never know …

LOL Would forward this one to the wife. But I like sleeping in the bedroom.

Homelybish is the rudest person…..
