Aww, Opal is a sweetheart, isn’t she?

Some of my favorite shirts have been made into patches on a quit.

Tell him whatever he wants to hear while he lives.Do as you wish when dead.

Earl’s not playing this right. After telling the story of his Gramma and Grampa, he should go on to say that he’s wearing the ratty old sweater to honor a departed loved one of his own, and guilt Opal into letting him keep it.

Who is Opal remembering wearing that ratty old dress day in, day out?

People of a certain age have those types of conversations…..so I’ve heard.

When one’s spouse dies, the most commonplace things become more precious than gold.

What an awful woman Opal is.

Earl should switch his couch cushion with Opal’s!

I would not think one would wish to be remembered by their butt print

Opal has no romance in her soul.

Reminds me of Andy Capp when Flo nagged at Andy to dispose of his old Army coat.

Earl’s going to leave a big impression behind.

She will be easy to recognize at the wake…she’ll be the one taking up a collection to put the dance floor on his grave.
