Pickles by Brian Crane for June 17, 2023

Earl i have a couple of questions. One what were you doing with motor oil in the house in the first place ? Second was that used oil or new ?

I nicked the tip of my thumb with the cheese slicer. I touched the pull cord on the kitchen sliding door blinds before I realized I was bleeding. There’s a big stain on each strain. Now my wife is mad at me. She’s tried several things to get the stains out. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

Earl stick to weather or football small talk.

You might want to keep somethings to yourself Earl!

Earl is the greasy kid stuff!

You know how bad your argument is, Earl; when your best friend won’t even agree with you!

Earl, you’re in the doghouse for a valid reason.

I sold insurance back in the ’70’s and went in a house where the husband was rebuilding a car engine in the living room. Wife was mad because the whole thing blocked the TV.

A friend of my teenage son washed his motorcycle parts in my dishwasher and disintegrated a plastic pitcher by filling it with gasoline. Grrrrrr . . .

A quick reply……

AND … it was only a 5-gallon pail full of 5W-30 drain oil.

If Earl didn’t think there was anything wrong with spilling the oil and didn’t take any action to correct the spill, why did he cover it up? He could have done quite a few other things that would have been helpful besides also ruining a throw rug.

WOW

Thanks to a little oil, Earl is now on the slippery slope.

I’m trying to figure out why he had motor oil in the house to begin with.

Just why is Earl carrying around motor oil in the house, dementia perhaps?…
