The Lockhorns by Bunny Hoest and John Reiner for November 07, 2024

Did you open them with a utility knife?

You ain’t seen nothing yet, Leroy, just wait ’til you open the credit card bill.

And you’re not wearing rubber-soled shoes, either!

During tough times I would swap the payment checks. That “error” caused a delay while the companies sent back the checks giving me time to cover them.

Seeing Leroy’s desk from this angle always makes me think of my late wife’s upright piano.

I paying my water and electric bills today.

So bad Advil won’t work.

I pay less than $20 a month in Chicago. Nice big lake next door & the city supplies the water.

If you think that’s shocking, in NY they’re running the power lines down the bottom of the Hudson River!

How do you open (see) two at the same time.

Poor Leroy! Mine come together. Water and electricity (and waste water, trash, Recycle, etc) are all one county utility. And it’s a scary number at the bottom!

Better take a cool off period before you open the credit card bill, and have a liter of you best hooch nearby.
