Pig: Do you think adding a smiley-face emoticon to an otherwise negative email makes the whole communication okay? Goat: how do you mean? Goat: i'd say no. Pig: Haha. But that smiley guy sure is cute. Dear my boyfriend pig, You are fat. You are dumb. You are boring. I want to break up.

Let’s look on the bright side [always, you know]: Pig is finally free from the baneful Pigita! Now he is free, free at least, for an un-died Sweet Fanny!

Arianne over 10 years ago
Ha! Well, first, you ask her over to your pad, then, you do have to do it just the write way. : )

The iconic it’s not you, it’s me, followed up with, I hope we can still be friends. You’re dumping me like a wheelbarrow full of manure on gramma’s garden & you hope we can still be friends??
