The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 24, 2024

“I can but I won’t.”

For a few dollars Wiberforce will do it.

I am so lucky, with the rain I can mow twice a week. I mow after 8pm and it takes 2 nights to do the walking lawn and 1 night for the tractor part…I’m in heaven!

Shoulda, coulda, woulda.

I’m pretty much like Brutus, most all of my ambition has flown out through the window too.

Spelling misunderstanding! Classic!!!

“Supposed to and does are two different things” You can quote me on that.

I suppose I should comment on this.

“Shoulda, coulda, woulda. You’re playing with words Mr Simms…” :D

I’ve had conversations like this witty l with my wife. LOL.

time to hire a lawn service, Brutus…

I don’t blame you Brutus, it’s hot out and it won’t hurt anything to wait another day or two before mowing.

“Ha ha ha, sounds like you,” said my wife.

I like mowing my lawn.

Very clever, Brutus! Gladys doesn’t seem to have a comeback for that one!

outsmarted the system, for now. ;)

His get up and go has got up and gone

I should and I might. We’ll see.

It can wait a little longer. Walking on air and contemplating the Sun doesn’t come often enough. If it was good enough for Socrates, why not Brutus,…..

There’s a big difference between should and would, Gladys.

Attaboy Brutus….atta boy….

Everybody thought that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did.

Why put off today when you can put off tomorrow?

If I tell my wife the lawn should be mowed and then I don’t she’ll mow me down

I suppose I should fix the gutters. Ahh forget it. I’m in California. Got another 3 months! (Although it did rain a little last night!)

It will still be there tomorrow Brutus. I wish I could cut the grass. It’s totally dry here in central Ohio everyone’s yards are brown. I bought two new toys for the summer – an electric self propelled push mower and an electric rider mower (steered by a joystick!) – and I’ve hardly been able to use them.

Procrastinators unite, someday.

What you SHOULD do is rip out the lawn, replace it with gravel, and then apply a hefty triple dose of Ortho Ground Clear full strength. Repeat the last step annually. Problem solved forever.

Shoulda coulda didn’t.

Ahhh! Semantics at work here. Gladys is hearing what she wishes to hear rather what was actually said.

Listen closely Gladys .

One word makes all the difference.

I should cut the grass but it’s hot and humid so that ain’t gonna happen

I resemble that remark. Can’t put it off tomorrow though.

Brutus, with that command of the English language, you’ll be running for office soon.

Good for you, Brutus.
