Pickles by Brian Crane for September 15, 2009

What is it about women and their detection devices.. or what is it about men and our inability to find anything?

It’s just the multi-track mind thing.

True , scary true and spooky .

more like the one who puts it away knows were it’s at

I just want to know… where’s the missing sock after laundry? There’s always one missing… and where the heck do those socks go?

Oh they’re out there in the atmosphere somewhere. Someday I think God will open the missing sock drawer in heaven and we’ll find all of them.

The socks are being kept up there for us when we retire. He doesn’t want us looking for socks later!!

I thought I was the only one who had missing socks.

Hopefully that missing sock drawer will have socks that match, otherwise I’d feel like I put on a black shoe and a brown shoe.

Nice to know there are more husbands that can’t find anything; must be a man thing; if it’s not in front of him, he doesn’t move things around to find it. Besides, Opal had those concealed in her left sleeve, right? LOL

I for one don’t give a first rip whether my socks match. When they’re clear down there in my boots, I can’t see them anyway and neither can anyone else. What I don’t see, won’t hurt me. Besides that, they match my feet…that’s all that really matters.

‘Tis sorcery! What further proof do we need?!? Thou art a witch!

Sent it to my wife. After 28 years, this is the only thing that still bugs me to heck. I put something down for a minute (no, I am not a slob, I am the neat freak in the family!) and she takes it upon herself to move it. But her stuff?!?!?!? She’ll leave it in a pile (that’s organizing, don’t ya know?) for weeks on end. Upon speaking with my gender brethren, I think women have an innate need to move stuff that isn’t there’s. Mothers, wives, girlfriends all do it.

Maybe Earl just needs some new glasses.

I know where most things are in this pig sty we call a room but one thing i can never find that my husband can find for me are my shoes… sometimes it isn’t my fault his dog like to hide them on me

Are you channeling Pluggers, EarlWash?

Get Jon Arbuckle, Earl Pickles. That man really knows how to organize his sock drawer.

I don’t know if any of you remember the book called “Sniglets” - words made up to define things that had no words - such as where missing socks go…to the “hozone”. Or, when Earl & Opal were grinning at each other at the table, checking for food particles…the particles would be called “lubs”.

Fun book - can’t find it anymore.

Hey , Steve, me channel Pluggers? I AM a plugger!

Of course it’s always in the last place you look - because once you find it you stop looking!
