Herb and Jamaal by Stephen Bentley for August 02, 2024

At the hobby shop that I worked at we’d tell the wives of our customers that wasn’t it better that their husbands had model trains instead of hanging out at the bars, until one day a wife said that her husband was taking his trains to the bar with him.

I used to work for a model train company. I “recycled” so much of my paycheck I could hardly afford to work there.

I build rockets. I would like to say I build and FLY rockets, alas, that has happened only once. Have quite a few complete ready to fly, and quite a few more ready to build as well as several in work. To fly I need to drive 5 to 6 hours to the launch location. I just can’t seem to do that.Plus it is expensive, and with a 10 YO son, those $$$’s are going else where.

Yeah a business turning away a loyal customer ain’t ever going to happen. They won’t stay in business for very long otherwise

Started reading this comic last week because it seemed interesting but today’s makes no sense. He calls a hobby a guilty pleasure? Why? Lots of people have hobbies – it’s not unusual or bad or anything like that. Then the owner says his money is no good there – but that turned out to be a lie. And why is the owner turning down a lot of business because of a phone call? Does he get even more money from the wife? Doesn’t make sense so not funny.

As Tammy Wynette once observed: D-I-V-O-R-C-E

That’s not good business strategy.

Why does he need that wife?

ANOTHER bossy wife treating her husband like he was a child?
