The Return of THIN ICE

 
Picture
In my collection of cartoon topics I have boldly cartooned where man should not cartoon.. the topics of dating and marriage.  Ok maybe boldly is not the right word .. maybe I foolishly cartoon to a land of THIN ICE.

So walk with me today, but tread lightly because.. HELLO.. the ice is THIN... the water is COLD.. and you will go DOWN.​

THIN ICE is found.. where a man..
1. Speaks words he should not speak,
2. Does things or does not do things he should or should not do, and/or
3. Thinks things he should not think. SHE WILL KNOW!

Picture
You may say well that is confusing. What I say or don't say.. what I do or don't do, and even what I think could put me THIN ICE?  Of course for all men who are in or have been in a relationship with a woman you know the answer is YES, but you may not always know how you got there until you hear the ice cracking. 

Even after being married almost 36 years I still find ways to test for thin ice.  Sometimes this is by mistake as 'who can understand the mind of the fairer sex'.  

side note: Why are women called the fairer sex when guys continue to get in trouble without a definitive list of dos & don'ts, say & don't say.. and thinks.  I mean, guys who play sports know the rules, so why isn't that way in marriage? - end of side note -

Picture
But back to being married almost 36 years.  There are other times where I test the ice and even intentionally step out further on the ice.. knowing it is thin but having a bit of RUSH testing it out. I think I like the feeling of living dangerously..  You know, see how far I can go.  But I would not advise this to any man in the first 20 years of marriage .. this is simply too risky.  Correction, do not test thin ice in the first 30 years.. ok, don't test it at all, only test thin ice if you consider yourself a professional LIKE ME.

It matters not if you are a slender 125 pound fella or a ' big boned' 350 pounds..Both men and all men of all shapes and sizes know.. THE ICE IS THIN & UNFORGIVING.

There, I have exhausted my words so let me finish out today's blog with a few illustrations.  You know they say a picture is worth 1,000 words.  So a cartoon should be worth 250-500 words by my estimate.

May God bless and use each of you today in ways that are beyond your dreams.. even if you wander on THIN ICE.
