The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for March 29, 2014

Brownies? Ewww

And then turn them inside out and start over. Or go commando like Jerry, who thinks it makes him irresistible. Or does he think that because his Main Battery has a hair trigger once it is unmasked?

No skidding.

Yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck.

And I don’t mean “Yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk.”

I mean “Blecchhh.”

And Mikie… please.

Bad enough Burl’s shorts get rinsed but once a week, hopefully whether they need it or not….

But now, Joy is looking for a way to spot clean them, so she doesn’t have to rinse the whole pair every time.

I suppose there was something to be said for the actual “pair” of pants predecessors our language usage refers to…. a “pair of hose”…. two separate legs.

The long shirts, and the doublet or jerkin, covered the hips, so, oftentimes, especially at first, when styles were simpler, nothing was worn in between the leg hose.

Saves laundry…. and didn’t get as dirty as Burl’s unmentionables.

Which BTW have been mentioned here today far too often for my taste.

Or NEVER wash ‘em, like these guys. Just rinse ’em every now and then (check schedule on wall and maybe fit this activity in if it’s a “slow” week)!!

If they weren’t called a “pair”, we might be robbed of one of life’s great sayings for rating people: “Hey, don’t sweat (him, her, it, them),(fill in blank here) puts (affix proper pronoun) pants on one leg at at time just like you and me!!”

which is what Jer does anyway

Jerry does indeed enjoy talking about guys’ underwear. As the board says, he does like gladiator movies.

Poor Timmy… mislead again…. Grandpa DALE should have said…..It evolved from “a pair of pants” to “a pair of underpants” to “a pair of underwear”…. ! ! !

B-bleach, stat….

Saying “some underwear” has also become acceptable. Around my parts anyway.

Notice how this is so disturbing, no one looked for the find it? Which I can’t find.

I guess spotting Burls undies reminded Joy of brownies and now she has a hankering for them…. BB Please
