Pickles by Brian Crane for January 03, 2015

I sense a plugged up septic system in the near future.

Well, Mrs. Observatory, I guess the huge word “TOWELS” on the wrapper wasn’t obvious enough.

Are they the super absorbent ones?

Or finish…

That is if your use to corn cobs.

And SHE"S the one who always rags on EARL when he makes a mistake.

Earl knows better than to rag on Opal for any “mistake” that she might have been made.

We did this once. But since we use paper towels it wasn’t like it was a total waste.

In the “olden days” (the 1940’s) we had to use sheets from the Sears ’n Rareback or Monkey Wards catalogs in the “two holer” outside the house !

just remember when you’re in the woods DON’T USE POISON IVY LEAVES – man oh man what a rough four weeks

I love how the word “towels” is in huge font across the whole package. She may need to go see her eye doctor to get her Rx adjusted!

That’s an understatement, Earl!

Made that mistake once too…of course, I was quite drunk and stopped at the store because my wife wanted me to pick up some TP…(no I wasn’t driving, I got dropped off at the store and walked home)

Couldn’t be half as abrasive as the industrial stuff they used at my last job. I took some home once and used it as fine sandpaper. It worked fairly well too.

“As a side note, that is where the tradition of reading while going came from.. But catalogs make poor wipers, and leaves are not much better. Toilet paper really is one of mans best inventions.”.“But Paw, I wasn’t finished reading the women’s underwear section!”.“I just don’t care JimBob and we ain’t ordering you no more of those skimpy things. I told you before, the ladies don’t come with them and you look plumb silly wearing them.”.My great uncle Will Green favored Spanish Moss. (He knew how to avoid that carrying chiggers.)For out houses, it was fine.For indoor plumbing, not so much. He kept clogging up the pipes.My cousin Priscilla burned his outhouse down, didn’t realize he was in it. It really burned him up whenever he thought back on it. The only place a man could find some peace and quiet.
