The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for October 25, 2024

This is why you never hear about an Italian vampire.

Working as a teller had a customer who’d had a garlic lunch, had to take step back to breathe.

Well, she did ask for a stake dinner.

The power of suggestion is strong, because now I’m hungry for garlic bread. Besides, a little protection from being menaced by vampires can’t hurt, especially around Halloween.

I have garlic in my food quite frequently, love it!

Doesn’t it have to be worn around your neck to be affective? Asking for a friend!

My cousin loves garlic and she swears that it keeps mosquitoes from biting. So I don’t doubt that it will keep flying blood sucking critters away.

It just drive him batty.

She is his Femme Fatale.

A bad first date – that’s about to get worse.

If you eat a lot of it regularly, you’ll sweat it out your pores and smell like it.

Wait until he discovers the cross pendent she wears.

There go his hopes for a Bloody Mary.

I laughed, but as I recall, there are people who are so allergic to certain substances, they don’t dare even kiss someone who just ate whatever it is.

Garlic to a Vampire is like pouring Salt on a Slug

Would a Jewish vampire be repulsed by a Star of David?

He’s no longer sticking his neck out for her, she paid the bill.

Just don’t feed Garlic to dogs as it will kill them.

I once went to an Italian restaurant that, in addition to garlic, had more Christian memorabilia than the average Catholic church. The same town had a restaurant with mirrors all over the walls. I concluded that the town used to have a vampire problem.

He has a long Hisssssstory of dramatics.

Is she Catholic? That could be an issue.

Why I would never make a good vampire. I consider garlic as a food group.

funny how garlic can smell so good when you’re cooking it, but after it hits your mouth… yuck!

My cat does that when I give him food he doesn’t like, garlic or not.

“Oh, and it was yummy.”
