Pickles by Brian Crane for January 14, 2014

Nelson has been paying attention well in school. (In Earl’s book, what’s the shortest day of the year?)

The shopping part will be Earl’s longest partof the day.

My longest day was that time I went deep-sea fishing and got seasick. That sun was up for about 4 days, I swear. Thought it would never end.

What about the day Daylight Savings ends? It’s 25 hours.

NO, theres’ still 24 hours in a day

You must have run mil off unless you are continuing from yesterday

Earl has discovered the effects of relativity in subjective time.HOW TIME FLIES WHEN YOU’RE HAVING FUNhas an oppositeHOW TIME DRAGS WHEN YER NOT.All of which reminds of the Burl Ives song about years slipping away for him and his wife because they were filled with joy

By saying you (males) sometimes “TAKE them” (women) to lunch, you IMPLY possession, like “taking the dog for a walk”. It’s sexist. If you’d said “sometimes we go to lunch” or whatever, you’d have been more PC. But hey, every guy over 40 is a sexist anyway, so you wouldn’t get it.Moving on now…….

Excrutiatingly so.

(you have realized by now that mil is a troll, don’t you. I just respond because trolls gotta eat, so I feed mil.).Earl is a good husband.Nelson is learning to be a good husbandobedience can be taught.

You know Milania, I worked hard for equality all my adult life, that includes equality of the sexes. I have given up a lot for these causes, and in the end I find sexism still exists in people like you, who look at me – a white male, well over 40 – and call me a sexist.

All I have to say is…SEX is SEX.

You’ll understand when or if you get married, Nelson. Choose wisely.

What about the days when the BIH inserts a leap second?

Lucyfur, so should we take the risk of assuming the troll tells truth or simply admit it is an unreliable source? Either way I fear I get stuck with the first three letters. (Not that I overly worry.)

I like Earls look at this.

I was just trying to be funny. I guess it didn’t work.
