Pickles by Brian Crane for October 10, 2021

It looks like Opal will be cutting her own cheese from now on!

That is exactly what my Dad would’ve done!

How awnry of you, Earl.

We get deli meat from the same place and have for years. Spouse orders it by the number on their slicer. (I THINK it’s supposed to be mm, but who knows? We want it just a bit fatter than “2”)

That’s-a notta Gouda thing to do, Earl.

Opal should be happy at the lack of calories!

You can’t win, Earl!

The only way I can get a thick slice of cheese is to unwrap two slices and put them together.

As Roy Underhill (wood wright) describes the shavings “So thin it only has one side”

When Earl does this (as a joke), he should have a real really really thin slice in the other hand to give her.

Earl next time just do it .

It’s a Sinclair molecule chain!

Can’t win!

Reminds me of Kramer and the slicer on Seinfeld.

Be CAREFUL what you ASK for….

Last time I bought a bacon cheese burger at a certain franchise, I could actually read through the bacon, it was that thin.

Opal should have specifically expressed her preference in micrometers.

“thin” one of those words that’s really subjective

“I’m gonna cut some stinky cheese.”

“Well, then go outside!”

ROFL!!

You should be able to see light through it, but not read through it. Perfecto! :)

At their ages, both Earl and Opal should be experts at cutting the cheese.

Now we know who “cut the cheese” and it wasn’t the dog.

What a smart a**!

Opal you did say thin, next do your own.Side note we did go to Branson left on Wednesday, I had my smart phone read my comics around 7:30 a.m. before and after breakfast, I could not comment, had a great time and did not go in for performances, went to Ripley’s that has motion sensors on mirrors my sister and I had fun there, and then expensive aquarium that is fairly new. Left Saturday morning for home.

If you don’t like how I cut it cut your own!

If it’s not pre-sliced you what you get.
