That was an accident, right? Maybe not.

If she did it on purpose, he could call the police. Why would she be mad about his comment?

Sorry, She was aiming for your funny bone

All because of your dumb mouth

“dropped” – eh?

yeah, that’s right – dropped

that’s our story, and we’re sticking with it

Accidently on purpose?!

Earl it’s a really good thing she did not drop it on your “Smart” foot!

She dropped a dumbbell on a dumbbell?

He let his brain drop.

In Breaking News, today a dumbbell was assaulted by a dumbbell

I see they have one of those new chairs designed to accommodate expanding number of users. Comfy for Roscoe. Then it expands for Earl and Roscoe. No wasted space.

A foot injury at that age can be pretty serious.

What does his foot have to do with anything?

Roscoe is definitely empathetic!

Earl should learn never to follow a compliment with a complimentary joke.

Never poke the bear….er’—-Opal

Recent studies show that doing lighter weights with more reps can be as effective as heavier with fewer so long as you are pooped out at the end.

Men really suc at being supportive. They seldom realize that you can’t tease a female the way you might tease a male acquaintance.

The funny thing is that works both ways. My husband will say really mean things to me as a “joke”, but if I send a zinger his way he gets upset.

On purpose??

You should ALREADY be watching your step.!!!

He never learns.

He had it coming so she let him have it.

There is literally no such thing as “muscle bound.” It’s a phrase used by fat out of shape people who are too lazy to exercise

Should have been your dumb-skull.

Shouldn’t you watch your self around Opal anyway?

For the past week or two, I was thinking of getting some dumbbells but just this morning, I was thinking this could be a problem if dropped on a foot. We need to figure out how to do the dumbbell type exercises on our cable machine. Almost like the cartoonists are hearing my conversations.

Opal is holding each dumbbell differently. She’s working a different set of muscles on each side.

Never make jokes around a woman carrying dumbbells.

Why is opal exercising in her bunny slippers? That’s not very safe,missy……
