Pickles by Brian Crane for February 17, 2024

There’s no way anyone can be that dense!

He’s thinking: “I like fresh chicken, but chicken that smells like fish is bad.”

This is rye humor.

Is this a Jessica Simpson joke?

I don’t usually try to “trick” my husband into eating things he doesn’t like but I will say if he doesn’t realize what he’s eating has something in it he “hates” he may very well not mind or even really like it!

He also claimed he hated tuna but rather enjoyed the tuna salad sandwiches he’d eat at my family’s house before we married, he finally wondered what it was exactly and was shocked to hear “tuna”! Turns out he really hated the tuna casserole his mom would make him eat growing up and he regularly requests tuna salad since we’ve been married (he likes to eat it with crackers)!

Kinda like tuna of the hen coup!

Sorry, Charlie.

Practicing for achieving public office.

If you really don’t want it, give it to Muffin. Hold the bread.

’Recalls the song:

“In May of nineteen forty-one, or was it forty-three?

I sailed with Captain Tuna, the chicken of the sea,

We didn’t sink the Bismarck, no matter what they say,

For when we seen the German ships, we sailed the other way."

Homer & Jethro

There’s still something fishy about it.

See!

Opal must’ve worked in advertising when she was younger.

My Mother used to make meat pies, one for us, and one for my father without onions, he did not like onions, one time she made them the same, and did not tell him, and he never knew the difference!

Well now, that’s just plain cute!

Speaking of it, I saw several scientific papers recently advising less tuna in diet. It’s on the top of food chain, containing much mercury accumulated by the way.

“Chicken of the cave”

C’mon, Earl…SERIOUSLY?

If a bishop sells tuna, does that make it chicken of the see?

I’ve never been a fan of tuna either, Earl!

Earl must not have watched a lot of television commercials if he’s never heard of ‘Chicken of the Sea’ tuna.

my dad used to say if i ate fish and did nt know it i`d like it. one day at this rec center where i used to work at, that had a senior lunch program they had what i thought were chicken patties and when they were done asked if i could have one. when i bit into it i found out i was wrong, it was fish, which i think is going to happen with earl

Too easy.

Cover it with a slice of cheese and all is well.

I once made “chicken surprise”. The surprise was it wasn’t chicken, it was rabbit.

I thought he was smarter than that.

Haha, not that different tasting anyway.

Well, if he doesn’t like the sandwich, she can give him Buffalo wings instead.

You can tuna piano but you can’t tunafish

Oy vey, just eat it already! Where’s my chips, Opal?

Maybe if it was star-kissed…

She should know he doesn’t like tuna.

Oh, my gawd that’s an old one. My mom used that line on my sister. She also had to tell her that milk and butter came from horses because my sister didn’t like cows either. One of our cows had kicked the milk bucket over that she was standing next to when she was little. It scarred her for a couple of years. PSA: Always use udder salve or your cows can get testy.

Earl must’ve lead a sheltered life. I remember there were many Chicken of the Sea commercials on TV, growing up.

Does this mean Buffalo wing did not contribute to the near extinction of the American bison?

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE !!!!!! SEA CHICKENS !!!!!!!!!

When I was young, I had to eat tuna and mayonnaise sandwiches every day. Today I can’t stand either one!

Are you that easily fooled, Earl?

Oh Earl….you are so easy…………

Reminds me of the time we convinced our granddaughter that the tomato in her food – she didn’t like tomato – was really pimiento. She ate it and liked it.

He can’t be THAT stupid…….. or CAN he..????

We had to do that with one of our granddaughters when she was little, worked every time.

Charlie!!!!!

I appreciate ANYTHING my bride brings me to eat. I weighed 165 when we got married. 50 years later, I’m over 400 now. She’s a dang good cook.

God, you crack me up! LOL

Still tastes like tuna.

Wow, somebody bought that marketing ploy

Shh, can you hear the ocean and a crying Charlie The Tuna?

Opal knows how to manipulate Earl so well…

I had a rainbow roll (tuna and salmon) for lunch.

Did you ever notice ……that chicken breast in a can and tuna fish smell and taste almost the same? …….apologies to the late Andy Rooney

ear worm alert:

Ask any mermaid you happen to see,

What’s the best tuna, Chicken of the Sea

But then are chickens “Tuna of the Land?!”

Isn’t there a rock group called “Pollo Del Mar”?
