It looks like a little step stool my husband bought me when we first got married. One time I was making dinner for us & a friend, and I needed something off the top shelf. Our friend was 6’4", so I asked him to get it for me. My husband said jokingly, “I spent good money on that d*mn stool, you’d better d*mn well use it!” From that day, over 30 years ago, to this, we still call it “the d*mn stool”. Yes, we still have it.
I can’t tell you how many times this exact same thing has happened to me. When I realized that I’m no longer even 5’ tall, I had my 6’5" husband rearrange the kitchen so that everything I need is on the bottom of the upper cupboards. Even then, I can’t reach the back of the cupboards. I feel his frustration!
I had the exact opposite problem yesterday. I had my tallest ladder out so I tried to use it to reach the attic entrance. The dang thing was too tall to open correctly in the ceiling space.
This seems to be always the way it is with any job. You climb up a ladder and realize you left the tool at the bottom and have to go back down. You crawl into the crawl space under a house and realize you left something in the truck you need and have to crawl back out. I seem to spend much of the time going back and forth for tools I forgot. I have about decided that the best tool is the couch in front of the TV and just pay someone else to do it.

a much taller ladder… assuming Snoopy can lug it and prop it against the tree by himself

You have to take life just one step ladder at a time.

Hey Snoopy, why don’t you just get onto your faithful Sopwith Camel and fly up there ?

This strip made me laugh out loud – not sure why but probably Snoopy’s expression

It was a good idea in theory, but the execution left a little to be desired!

Snoopy will just have to rise above the situation.

I’m amazed Snoopy doesn’t keep a full sized ladder in his doghouse, maybe store it under the pool table?

Perhaps Snoopy should install an elevator.
