Artie was wishing he had brushed his teeth and taken a bath this morning.
That would have made eating an apple for lunch more enjoyable.

...and even sadder than not having fresh breath, he doesn't have a special someone to spend Valentine's Day with! :(
ReplyDeleteGood one, Jim.
Brilliant portrait in a few words, I think. I get that guy.
ReplyDeleteAh, the things we forget or overlook!! Smelly breath, and no one for Valentine's Day! Poor guy! Great one for the day, Jim! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteSylvia
I wondered about the odor. LOL. Fun one.
ReplyDeleteMade me chuckle, Jim...thanks for that. The poor guy should realize that if he keeps forgetting to brush his teeth he may not be ABLE to eat any apples!
ReplyDeleteJim;
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh big time.
A shower is always a good thing when visiting with others!
Is that why he was shunned by the others? Good one!
ReplyDeleteYes, fresh breath does help the date thing....and good tasting apples! :>
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Artie must be a teen. Hygiene seems to be secondary to good sense!
ReplyDeleteGood one, Jim1
Fresh breath is always helpful when looking for a date!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder he's sitting on his own! hehe
ReplyDeleteHow true, if he had done those things he might have been paired off like the rest. Thanks for the chuckle!
ReplyDeleteIt would indeed. Nice one :-)
ReplyDeleteNot to worry. Apples clean the teeth!
ReplyDeleteThat would have also not made him sit so far from the ladies.....haha!
ReplyDeleteGood one Jim.
He does seem to be very shy about something alright!
ReplyDeletehahahaha... or it would make a difference since it's Valentine's Day, he could have a date. nice one.
ReplyDeleteLive and learn;-)
ReplyDeleteOh yes tooth brushing is critical- especially on valentines day!
ReplyDeletesome grooming might have made his day better :)
ReplyDeleteenjoy seeing KP
Hope sends hugs
No wonder he's sulking and keeping to himself!
ReplyDeleteGood hygiene is always a must! :O)
ReplyDeletePriorities, Artie, priorities.
ReplyDeleteAmanda gently poked Carl in the chest, leaned forward and whispered, "If you try that again, you're a dead man."
ReplyDeletelol, hope he's upwind of the others! Cute!
ReplyDeleteAww...quite the case of halitosis!
ReplyDeleteTake Listerine with you on picnics, Artie!
ReplyDeleteExcellent one, Jim.
ReplyDeleteLate this week. Still recovering from a Valentine's extravaganza. Hope the rest of your week goes well.
