That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 25, 2019

The girl from next door was wondering if she could borrow a net.

“Oh no It’s aunt Ella! Don’t let her see you!”

“May I use your hairdryer? I could only find the bonnet from mine.”

“I see dead people. There’s one behind you.”

Oh she stands there tapping, tapping

On my window facing the shore,

Where the waves are lapping, lapping,

The ghost of my drown’d Lenore.

“Can I interest you in a copy of the Watchtower?”

the fisherman really wished that the strange moony-eyed young woman from down the street would learn to knock on the door like everyone else when she wanted fish instead of peeping and tapping on the $%#@ window when he was trying to nap…

A little help? I grabbed the shower cap thinking it was my diaphragm.

You know, if you would clean these windows once in awhile you might be able to peep at me better, it is almost time for my weekly shower.

“I see you Carl Bloch. Stop trying to hide behind that easel.”

She sees you when you’re sleeping. She knows when you’re awake. She knows if you’ve been bad or good. She’s a stalker, for heaven’s sake!

Excuse me, I think this is you shower cap -I found it under my husband’s night table.

I’m from the HOA and I’d like to show you the complaint your next-door neighbor anonymously submitted. You have 30 days before the Compliance Commitee hands down fines …

Excuse me, when will you be replacing this cheesecloth with real curtains – it gives the neighborhood a trashy look, and we’re all sick of seeing what you do in here.

Those horsehair curtains never quite caught on.

That’s creepy. Seriously.

The large lady from next door, as seen from the attic window.

I know you’re in there, Charlie Harper!

Can’t add to that caption. Nice one.

My name is pronounced as Bouquet, not Bucket.

I don’t know what creeps me out more … the girl’s outfit … or the fact she’s tapping on the window and holding a shower cap in her hand.

“That sly, ‘come hither’ stare / that strips my conscience bare / it’s witchcraft…”- Sinatra

To counteract its unpleasant reputation, the Internal Revenue Service instituted an all-pastels dress code and sent its agents on a door-to-door campaign to remind everyone that April 15 is just a few months away.

“She dwelt among untrodden ways”/ aye, that is where she dwelt/ She made her living selling fish/ and so of Smelt she smellt/ When, at the window she appeared/ her old employer fled/ for, to his certain knowledge, she/ had been some five years dead…/ A wild affair the two had shared/ among the drying nets / but still, for him, a clear “net gain”/ and he had few regrets/ until she made those loud demands/ (t’is not a pretty story) / and she was sent to sea aboard/ an ancient, hole-y dory…/ the dory sank amid a storm/ as they are wont to do/ but she is back, a “spirit”, now,/ and he must join her crew. (Bwahahahahaha…)

Miss Havisham? Don’t you think its time to turn on some lights, maybe a little light dusting, maybe even come outside for some air? Just saying.

Dear Prudence. Won’t you come out to plaaaayyy?

OK grandpa, I’m all clean now. But let’s not clean any more fish before church, OK?

Excuse me kind sir … but do you have a bathtub I could borrow?

I think she is trying to tell us … yes, she is … She is trying to tell us that she does windows too.

peeping Tomatina, hoping to catch a glimpse of the new man in town while he prepares for his shower.

Before Facebook, there was Ella.Both know disturbing amount abut you.

The thing that bothers me is the larger breast between the other two.

“You missed a spot!”
