Don’t encourage him Opal he come’s up with enough excuses on his own.

Earl is out of gas.

That explains it…my dad was the laziest man I ever met. He was a plumber and had a truck full of pipe elbows. Always had a good reason not to use them, too.

When I was a kid the family lawn mower was manual – today we’d call it better for the environment.

Sore elbows! And there’s your second reason, fulfilling Opal’s little homespun nugget of wisdom. Cleverly done!Reminds me of an old Wizard of Id strip— Bung: A penny for your thoughts!" Wizard (quoting): “A fool and his money are soon parted.” Bung: “That’s not bad. Here’s your penny.”

Who?

Rationalizations!No excuses

Pearl cleaned up the normal saying of “everybody has one…”

At least two? Who has more than two elbows?

Hey Earl? Ever hear of putting gas in the lawn mower so you can mow the lawn and get the job done? You’re turning into Andy Capp other than you don’t drink beer.

I guess Opal doesn’t believe in equal rights…

Opal why don’t you mow the lawn, you seem to do everything. Earl is tired lol

Hahahahaha! I love hearing men’s excuses.

LOL xxx

“At least” two elbows? I’d like to see the people who have more!
