Prehistoric hoarding

That’s what my wife says bout all my hot sauce

Nab! That’s what I was going to say!

Along with “Well, then, Mr. Great Hunter, where’s that huge dead mammoth you promised we’d be eating instead?”

I gather he should be hunting.

Looks more like nesting to me?

You could make a TV show about it after cable TV is invented.

Gather and hunt?

I can’t believe gatherers still make less than hunters for the same amount of work.

I love the look on HER face.

Just wait until they invent shoes…then he’ll really have something to complain about.

@Loren, maybe it’s because he has to “hunt” for his, but all she has to do is walk around and collect things. Kind of like why someone who is working on an auto assembly line makes more money in their line of work than someone who has a stamp collection. One is actually producing something and the other is just a collector. The same amount of time may be involved, but that doesn’t mean the same amount of skill or effort is applied.

Thus the beginnings of storage rooms/closets.

As my favorite Ziggy strip says “It’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it” I blew that up and printed years ago for workbench and hobby room -LOVE IT!!
