Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 09, 2013

Transcript:
Goat: What's that on your finger, Rat? Rat: A purity ring. Goat: Wow. Do you realize what that signifies? Rat: Yes. That I will refrain from drinking anything but the purest vodka. Mailman: Complain letters! Pastis: Rat!
I had to look it up to find out what a purity ring was. Having done so, I would imagine that most of the people wearing them do so not because of religious conviction, but due to lack of opportunity.
Abstaining from sex with another until marriage.,He could put Rat on probation then say, “You’re being let go. Your department’s being downsized. You’re part of an outplacement. We’re going in a different direction. We’re not picking up your option. Take your pick. I got more.”.Yea watched Emperor’s New Groove recently.

I always thought that Pastis wrote the strip, now I see in the last panel that it is Rat. I suppose that makes some kind of sense, even though it escapes me.
@BartJ385No one drinks it pure, unless they live in Russia.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Harrrumph ! I take it you’re 22 years old, right?Ice-cold vodka over ice and a sprinkling of salt, a sunny afternoon on a Florida Patio and that ain’t Russia, lad !
I’d take Beefeater’s over Bombay (and even liked Seagram’s as the everyday option, until they started getting so popular they raised their price).

I like it pure, no visible particles…. and I prefer my tonic equally filtered. Vodka tonic… second only to gin and tonic.

What Stephan has to remember is that he has an eraser…
Just a thought.
He also needs to know he would never get complaint mail from me!

Rat is probably going with Spiritus 198 proof vodka… Purity is important….
PICTO about 11 years ago
I became so confused looking it up on the map I just said “Who cares”.
KEA about 11 years ago
Ok, I give – what’s a purity ring? (and who makes money off them?)
nanellen about 11 years ago
A purity ring was and maybe still is worn by teens who are committed to staying virgins until marriage.
microcraft over 3 years ago
I thought this was going the Beer route, i.e. Germany’s beer purity laws
leopardglily about 1 year ago
