Pickles by Brian Crane for January 13, 2018

seems like someone forgot to put plastic wrap ’round that piece of cake

“I’m still gonna eat you up — dirt and all.”

The 5 second rule applies. Just hope the floor is clean.

This reminds me of the episode of FRIENDS. The one with the cheesecake. Where Rachel and Chandler were eating cheesecake of the floor.

Nothing dampens Earl’s spirit.

Floor or not, Earl will get sick from that cheesecake. If it is liquid enough to splash, it is long gone.

My Mom always said that if you dropped it, it was a sign that you shouldn’t be eating it as it was not good for you.

Opal most likely cleans the floor a lot, so it’s probably still good to eat. Gotta love how Earl talks to it like it’s prey that made an escape attempt.

We’ve expanded the 5 second rule on occasions. Varies according to what’s dropped.

Mmmm. Crunchy, linty goodness.

Mmmm. Crunchy, linty goodness.

Talking to your food is fine. It’s when the food talks back that you have a problem.

Just make sure to wipe the floor clean. The missus will never know.

Slice 1/16th of an inch (2 mm) off what used to be the top. The rest didn’t touch the floor.

Like in the second Crocodile Dundee movie, where Sue dropped one of the breakfasts sunny side down.
