Frazz by Jef Mallett for May 11, 2024

Seen a garage sale sign that read, “Make our crap your crap”.

What size dosage?

But that’s what many garage-sale shoppers do. They get to a sale long before the official starting time and buy up anything they think they can resell, which they often do at flea markets rather than having their own garage sale.

…depends on how high you rate on the Hoader Scale.

What do you think garage sales would look like after an apocalypse?

Poor Mrs Olsen. She gets no respect and she is my favorite character.

Not sure that technology has advanced that far, Caulfield.

We have reached the age where a garage full of stuff is just the least of what we have to move out. It will require major clear out and is sure be both a pain for the work and for putting up with insulting offers for what we consider ‘good, usable, or worth the price.’

And “How many Angels can dance on the head of a pin?”

Watch George Carlin’s ‘Stuff’. Another classic from the master.

There is a Law of the Universe that says, “Junk expands to fill the available space.”

“Home is where you keep your stuff when you’re out getting more stuff.” George Carlin

My son’s ex and her mother were hoarders. They went to garage sales all the time, and then just piled all the crap they bought into a room in their house, and you could scarcely get the door open, let alone go in there!

I confess that I do love garage sales, and have found many great things there. But estate sales are better.

Or sell it on Ebay.

Funny

I bought a pair of infant Osh-Kosh overalls for my son at a (Mormon) garage sale. He was the fourth infant to wear them. His younger sister was the fifth. A co-worker’s infant twins were the sixth and seventh. Some garage sale items become heirlooms before they finally wear out.

Don’t give him any ideas, Frazz.

You don’t need to tag Mrs Olsen. Just follow her from the coffee shop.

Too many variables — personality, wealth, interests, storage space… PS, a dart gun would not be needed!

I like Caulfield’s closing line.
