Pickles by Brian Crane for April 12, 2015

So is that all it takes? A lot of guys will start showing up at the door in their tidy-whities and dragging thier pants. Look for Avon stock to drop.

I used to know a guy who needed both. His torso was egg-shaped — no waist, no butt. A belt wouldn’t keep his pants up, so he needed the suspenders for that, but he also needed the belt to keep the pants waistband from gaping out.

I am fast becoming Earl.

I had a blood clot in my thigh, and they gave me too much blood thinner. I nearly bled to death. However, I did go from 240 pounds to 190. I feel pretty good now, but none of my clothes fit. I have had my pants fall off. I don’t know about the Avon lady, but those Witness people don’t ring my bell anymore.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

It’s no fun doing the penguin walk to the front door.

Might work for J.W’s also

Earl is smarter than I thought. I wish I had suspenders & a belt on the day my pants fell down in a parking lot. I was carrying so much stuff, I couldn’t grab them in time.

I knew a guy at work that used safety pins to fasten his pants to his shirt.

When I was a kid in upstate NY, we had a bread man…Milk man… but no Avon Calling.

you’d think she’d be appreciative, no more avon calling

“I… can’t control my pants!”

It pays to be prepared, Opal!

I love Avon products. One of my next door neighbours used to give me samples of perfume and nail varnish.

this is the reason I sit in the back of church

The Avon Lady STILL COMES AROUND, REALLY? Back when I was in High School, in the 70’s, I did that for awhile to make some extra cash.

I have worked with IT. You can always tell the Database Administrators. They are the ones that wear both belts and suspenders.
