Frazz by Jef Mallett for January 12, 2022

Spouse is very good at this conversation.

“Honey, where did you put the (placeholder)?” … “It’s in the garage” … “But where in the garage?” “Near the (other placeholder)”.

This can go on indefinitely or until I run out of patience. She never seems to understand she’s causing grief. Of course, if I’m on the other side of the dialog and answer something like “on the West wall, about halfway between the freezer and the door” she gets confused because for her, none of the garage walls are on the West (yeah, yeah, it’s 18º South of West. Sigh)

Where’s that thing you were using last week? You know, when you were working in the other room. I need it right now or you will make me late.

Mom? I brought the school custodian in to see our couch. ok?

My mom used to cover all furniture used for sitting in a thick plastic when I was growing up. The poor dog would hear something outside, jump up on the couch to bark and go sliding along when his claws couldn’t get any purchase.

Does the phrase “throw pillows” begin with an adjective or a verb?

Do it, Frazz. Always accept the invitations of cute girls.

You do realize, Jef, that we expect to see that pillow-piled sofa tomorrow.
