I had to restring my WW, I went to youtube and one dude said to take it apart and do it, another said do it another way. I looked at my the bottom of the WW and it said line up the arrows and slide string through, EASY!
this looks like a poke at our congressional old-folks home. need more money? go ridiculously (further) into debt. that sounds like a responsible thing to do. our US loan debts to Japan and China are frightening.
I wonder if it bothers Brian Crane that, every Sunday, one or more panels of this toon are omitted. The 1st – Earl asks "What’s that you’re doing, Opal? The 2nd – “I’m just checking on our accounts.” The basic jist is there without them, but I’m glad for my Sunday paper. My house is the only one on the block that has the paper delivered. Actual print newspapers are probably going to be extinct in the not-too-distant future.
just for a weed whacker? I think Opal needs to back off just a little bit. my Weed Whacker kicked it a month ago. It’s a needed expense. Now is she where complaining about the uptick in ice cream consumption, she would have a much stronger case.
Take back the weed whacker and give Opal a pair of scissors and a stool to sit on while she trims the lawn.
I actually did that once when my ex hubby refused to get a lawnmower. He laughed at me and went and borrowed one from the neighbor.. after which another tragedy took place.
A few years back, I’d purchase a hand tool and my wife would ask why “we” need this and I’d reply that I need it for something I’m fixing. Fast forward to now, my wife has purchased an extensive collection of gardening and power tools for “fixing” things. Irony abounds.
A number of years ago a man in England had been diagnosed with AIDS. During the time the man had been told he was ill with the virus the prognosis had been grimmer. He thought that he was going to die. So he lived it up royally and went horrendously into deep debt. He went on a massive spending spree. He figured he’d never have to pay any of it back. However it turned out that his doctor had made a huge mistake—the man had not contracted AIDS.

The weed wacker wasn’t wacky enough? You’re wacky enough for both you and your wacker, Earl.

$130 will just get you a cheap piece o’ crapola. Gotta shell out more like 250. Opal’s gonna shoot you, when you have to buy another one next week.

Earl, try being transparent with your purchases with Opal before making it. Like my wife, she usually advises me to get a good one that will last.

I guess the old whacker wasn’t funny any more after he accidentally cut off his sense of humor.

Exactly Earl, but make sure all of your assets are protected from the pocket picking government.

Your only Ok if that million dollars in debt creates income big enough to pay the interest on the debt.

Opal sounds like my Gramma; she was fairly frugal, probably from having to feed a family of 6 during the depression.
