For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 14, 2023

No good idea goes unpunished

Pour coffee on his head

You can tell alot about a woman by her hands. For instance, if her hands are around your neck in a death grip, chances are she’s a little bit perturbed.

What about your vows to put Ellie’s needs before yours Mr. Peterson? ;P

Maybe she could use a backrub but selfish John only thinks of himself!

Of course!

She gonna strangle him!

Get him, El!

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

She should have just walked. Then a combo of walk-jog. My husband is like Elly. No exercise for a year and then he wants to run. Does it once; feels half dead, and another year goes by. >sigh<

Ahh. Neckus Massagus.

oh, she’s gonna give you a rub alright. :J

The man has a death wish.

Start at the neck … with a choke hold.

Seems like she could use a good back rub.

John…….are you really wanting to make it into the office this morning ? ’Cause you’re treading on thin ice right now ! ! ! !

Expect violence

Loosening up the hands with a tight grip around his neck…..

I ache all over and YOU want a back rub? Prepare to die!

She’s gonna rub your neck, all the way around to your throat. I suppose people don’t “ring your neck” anymore.

Elly could compete in a Quasimodo look-a-like contest.

John, you might have to settle for a throat rub instead.

Doesn’t look like that’s what you’ll get.

Considering that John’s job requires him to sit hunched over his patients 8 hrs/day and it supports his family, his request seems justified.

Men ! So self-centered…. LOL

Sure, full body, with a meat tenderizer!

How about a neck “rub”?

The police report would read: There appears to have been a struggle. Victim a middle-aged male. Severe trauma to neck area. Cause of death, covid. Seems legit.

Watch it, John! She’s going for the throat! Cut to commercial!

John’s suggestion is actually quite legitimate. Giving someone a back rub can be a mild workout in and of itself.

Spa time for Elly before it’s too late.

Really, though, a 15 minute walk would help her. It would also get her away from John for 15 minutes. Come to think of it, half an hour might work better.

“CHOKE” I don’t thing back rubs start at the throat….

Oh, those talons look like they could slice you up.

\\//_

Yes. Exactly what you need to hear when you’re in pain all over.

Nice knowing you fella!!
