    Sylvia, you didn’t choose either of your parents wisely.

    If he left the lid up would she be able to close her flip phone??

    He was in the bathroom, Sylvia. Your phone was not. Wake up, girl.

    A flush is probably a lot better to hear over the phone than a plop, no?

    This arc is what my aunt used to call “bathroom humour.”

    Many years ago, I had to replace my phone due to an unfortunate encounter with water. At the Verizon Store, I asked if it was possible to retrieve and transfer my contacts and settings to the new phone, and the clerk said that it should work. He returned shortly thereafter and asked, “How’d you get it wet?”, and I replied, “I dropped it in a toilet.” I will forever remember and cherish that look on his face as his hands curled into protective balls.

    I have a very dear friend, who for years, has always managed to call me at the most inopportune times – mostly when I’m in the bathroom. I, likewise, seem to have the same luck when calling him. The sound of a toilet flushing has punctuated many of our conversations.

    She didn’t call him she called Opal. Still can’t figure out why she called his cell to get her mother or does Earl have a landline in the toilet?

    True, but with caller i.d., I know whose calling. This has become sort of a running joke with us ( pun intended ).

    Wonder if she cleans her own bathroom like that every time anyone flushes.

    Thank you!The idea that one absolutely must have their phone with them 100% of the time is ridiculous. Don’t take the phone into the “throne” room with you and you won’t have this problem.

    I know this is a comic strip, and I understand the exaggeration. I could also identify with yesterday’s “Ew! Ew! Ew!” That said, if Sylvia were an actual person acting this way, I’d suspect that she had a serious emotional problem.

    At work I once had the unenviable task to have to fix a laptop that had been “doused” by a moronic student so drunk he didn’t realize he “wasn’t” in the bathroom. My office smelled bad for days.

    Does anyone notice that Sylvia and Nelson’s eyes are far apart while Opal and Earl’s are noticeably closer together?

    As I said yesterday… It’s just as well Sylvia only heard the flushing of the toilet and no other well known sounds when one is on the toilet.

    Every year I have to mention a Pickles strip from many years ago.Earl took his wife out in the Studebaker to see Christmas decorations…in the daytime.I still think it was one of the funniest ideas, ever.

    I think that’s the entire point, that a blond would be so stupid as to believe that e-coli could travel through air to her flip-phone…I think she got too many genes from her auntie Pearl!

    Most callers don’t care if you’re driving, sleeping or defecating when they call, just so you answer.

    She says that she, “Called dad to ask him a question”. Then why did she ask him in yesterday’s strip, “Is mom there?” Kind of ditzy if you ask me.
