Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 23, 2013
Transcript:
Goat: I find it so hard to figure out who I can trust in life and who I can't. Rat: I don't. I have a foolproof test. Goat: What's that? Rat: I never trust a person who uses the word 'implement'. They are always lying. Goat: So much for my resume. Rat: Let me guess. You implemented change.

Probably…

Not to mention that most PSRs are lies too.

You should never trust a man with a mustache; he might not give it back.

actually, I think, once again, Rat may be on to something!!

Rat doesn’t trust himself?
Kaputnik almost 12 years ago
Did Rat mean, people who use implement as a verb?
He probably doesn’t trust people who nitpick the semantics of comics, either. I’ll just grab my eating implements and have breakfast now.

Why does Rat have to make it so complicated? Just never trust anyone.

Was hoping rat would of stayed down for a while after being hit in the head with the book. Better luck next time.

Goat, you KNOW you can’t trust Rat. Don’t you? … Of course, Pig isn’t smart enough even to figure that out.

“Facilitate” is the word I don’t trust. Too pretentious.

“Foolproof test”…that rodent is just the fool to prove it!
baldhedjer almost 12 years ago
I don’t trust people who use the word “Foolproof” There are too many fools out there to make ANYTHING “foolproof”
dreadlokz almost 12 years ago
I think we all saw that coming.
LingeeWhiz almost 12 years ago
Hope and change have been implemented and we go forward from here just like the lemmings.
NoCents almost 12 years ago
But what if you worked for John Deere ?
Vonne Anton almost 12 years ago
We can implement these comments to facilitate foolproof hope!
SwimsWithSharks almost 12 years ago
Awesome. You commenters really synergized today.

Rat is talking about Al-obama!Maybe. But sure he’s not talking about Bush. The only 3 syllable word Bush knows is nuclear.

Goat implemented his resume to show that he’s a “results oriented team player” who “maximized his business unit’s strategic market positioning”.

The litmus test for me is people who “feel” instead of “think.” Or people who cite “litmus tests.”

Thumbs up if you’re going to buy Stephan’s new book Timmy Failure!

Why do I get the feeling that Rat is about to impact Goat?
joylion almost 12 years ago
if I were goat, i wouldn’t trust rat.
nancytrum almost 12 years ago
love this strip, miss ellie elephant
Rickapolis almost 12 years ago
I like this test.

I dislike the phrase “think outside the box”. If one needs to go to a seminar to be taught this, they will probably never “think outside the box”. It is difficult to change the way adults think.
tsandl almost 12 years ago
I don’t trust anyone who says the word “the”. They’re all liars, me included.
fogey almost 12 years ago
For once, I agree with Rat.
jack fairbanks almost 12 years ago
“trust”— last refuge of the masochist… who’s implementing whom, anyway?
alantain over 1 year ago
I also have a foolproof test. If someone is talking, they’re probably lying.
