One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for July 05, 2013

Ruthie do not worry Grandma will not get arrested for those rolls. Waiters would have to trash the bread.

In today’s strip, a parody of a once popular TV show. Click the blue box to the right.

Don’t worry Ruthie, the police aren’t too concerned about that!!

It does leave a message though.

As Kab mentioned, they ARE supposed to discard everything served and not finished. When possible, I try to save 1/2 for another meal including sauces (if there is a good bleu cheese, Béarnaise or Horseradish). I don’t sneak it in my purse, tho’ because there is better packaging at most places.

Usually I drag along a couple empty pill containers for just such salad dressing “contingencies..” Nobody’s shot me yet.

Now that you’ve taught Ruthie black and white, you can move on to teaching her gray—which essentially means “Because I (for whatever good or bad reason) can get away with it.”

We used to give my grandmother a hard time for eating grapes in the produce aisle. She replied, in broken english, I pay my taxes. I would hate to be the officer to have to interrogate her.

I thought it was for that outfit Rose is wearing.
