Transcript:
Pig: Hey, Goat. I'm talking a class to improve my spelling. Mind quizzing me on these words? Goat: Sure. But turn around so you can't see the words. Pig: Oh, good idea. Goat: Okay... The first word is 'sob.' Pig: S-o-b. He can be so moody.
When I grew up I wanted to a land owner so I could be an Esquire; then I could tell the girls that I was SAFEsq to be with. They always squired off and punch me.
so many fights happen because of misunderstandings. poor pig is simply a victim of proper spelling and knee jerk reactions from a filthy rodent. BUT i blame goat for making pig turn around to spell when there was no need for it at all.
The people I feel sorry for are the ones who have the initials B.S,; they always seem to live down to them because they were so full of the solid waste of a bovine.
Unfortunate choice of a name for an automobile: KIA (which means “Killed In Action”). The same company often spells it with a Greek letter Lamda, with the inverted V instead of A. So it gives KIL again.

My initials are SCB. No way am I going to let a child of mine have its initials be SOB.

And then there was the brat whose mother called him an SOB. He replied, “What does that make YOU?”
