I guess Earl should insert his foot into his mouth

Brian scores so consistently it’s funny. [Didn’t think I was going to say, “not funny” did you?]

I guess Opal doesn’t look in the mirror each moring.

Dead man walking.

“Doghouse for Two.”

I had a nine inch hair growing on my chest when I was in my twenties, but I had known about about it ever since it was around two inches long.

It was also kind of like a science experiment. Because I’m a guy.

Sometimes, those little suckers are hard to see until the light hits them at just the correct angle. For us, its usually when my wife is driving, with me in the passenger seat, and the sun is directly on her left, that those long ones shine like a beacon.

The question should be, how did YOU not notice it, Opal?

I’m with Earl… Science experiment… yeah, yeah that’s it…

Remember the song that said “She Blinded Me With Science !”

An interesting phenomenon for sure. The older I get the more hair on my head vacants the premises while new hair sprouts up in areas I didn’t even think were possible.

Rogue hairs are disgusting….it’s not up to Earl to monitor them on Opal! However, he should have mentioned it to her before it got so long! LOL

Granny hairs. . .

“Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin”.

Me thinks she needs to have an eye exam, STAT!

Earl must buy spaghetti O’s by the case….

In attempting to clear a strand from my eye… discovered it to be not from my head, but my EYEBROW!!! Currently 2-1/2 inches… research continues…

I think she may start experimenting with Earl quite soon.

And how long has it been since she looked in the mirror in order to have a 3" hair?

Oops, she forgot to load her estrogen supplements in her pill case. I suggested this to my 83 year old sister-in-law, but added, “…don’t take too much or your period will come back.”

Oh, Earl, Earl, Earl …

Opa., you look at yourself almost daily in that mirror. You would have noticed the hair long before it got to 3 inches. This is not his fault.

The dangers of human experimentation… humans can take offense and fight back.

Well, it was your science experiment!

His job is to NOT notice it!

Earl was going to display Opal at a science fair?

You gotta love Earl…..at least I do….reminds me of my dad and grandpa….with my grandma and my mom.

A very long time ago, we kids discovered that my dad had a chest hair that was about 5 or 6 inches long. My sister pestered him most every day to let her stretch it out and see how long it had gotten. He put up with it for weeks and weeks. Then one day, she stretched it out and it pulled out. I’m sure he was grateful.

I understand her completely! Only I don’t have anyone to check it for me, just gotta check the face in the shower every coupla days!

“When I look at your face, I see the light in your eyes and the joy in your smile. I’m too busy thinking about how much I want to kiss you to worry about anything else.” Should have tried that answer, Earl. :P

Once after church, I was chatting with a friend and notice a very long lone hair growing from his neck. I decided against saying anything, but it was hard not to stare at it.
