Mary Worth 2961

People tend to avoid Mister Wynter. He bites, and his owner lets him do whatever he wants like sit on tabletops and eat people food.

Toby: "Not me! He has that "old people" smell."

Wow Toby, jealous much? Wonder what she means by "wide berth?" That they let "Mr. Sprinkles" sit on the table?" That he gets a handicap spot and Chinbeard can't even though they are approximately the same age? That Mr. Allora gives him the hand truck whenever he wants? Tell us more, Toby.

"Perhaps Some Muffin Therapy Can Help Toby Stop Being So Juvenile And Judgy".

Mr. Wynter muffins!
Not me! Scooting!
Seen wide berth?

Whoa, we have a pariah at Charterstone. How does Mary not know this? On second thought, maybe she does know it but is desperate to move some muffins.

Whatever the case, fellow Worthies, set your phasers to creep factor 10.

To riff on an old joke, No sane person would wear a suit and tie to a pool party, and so far, none has.

Except for the disappearing/reappearing bow tie and the fluctuating number of salmon snacks, June has recycled the same drawing for three days.

What Toby intended to say was that eating Mary’s muffins gives folks a wide berth. A case in point: Wilbur’s girth.

I could see someone saying let's see if so-and-so wants one muffin, but when someone says they will check to see if someone wants multiple muffins, you have to wonder what the underlying thinking is.

Toby is scooting? Mr Sprinkles has been "scooting" all over that table!

Many dog owners have experienced that awkward feeling somewhere between embarrassment and annoyance when their dog scoots or drags his bottom across the rug. Because, of course, dogs tend to perform this socially unacceptable behavior in front of as many people as possible and leave their mark behind on the carpet.


But dog scooting is more than just scratching an itch—it often indicates a medical problem that requires attention. “The reality is, dogs are sending us a signal,” says Dr. Jerry Klein, chief veterinary officer of the American Kennel Club in New York.

C'mon, Toby! Anybody with a festive umbrella in their iced tea can't be all bad!

@Delilah - is that iced tea or prune juice?

Why DO people give Mr. W a wide berth?

He’s not wearing pants.
He will ask to borrow money.
Or, is he one of those guys who just won’t shut up if you give him an opening?

He will make you a fortune selling your salmon snacks out of a truck.
He will tell you about his "tummy brain" tee hee.
He lives at Charterstone.

He's feeding his dog salmon snacks.

Let's pull off the mask and see who The Phantom of Charterstone really is....

Old Man Wynter!

It would have worked too, if it wasn't for that meddling Mary!

Scooby doobie doooooo!

Mr Wynter hasn't moved in 3 days
Somebody should really go check for a pulse.

He eats beans and cabbage for dinner every night.
