Pig: Look, Rat... I fixed our filing cabinet... Before. It only let you open one drawer at a time. Now you can open both. I think I prefer the old way.
If Rat rescues Pig, but ultimately unsuccessfully, we could all have pulled pork barbecue. (Get it? Pulled pork? Pulled out from under the file cabinet? —Oh, well….)
There are actually cases of “death by Coke machine” where someone tips the machine to shake loose a recalcitrant can, and the top-heavy thing falls over and crushes them. Hence the warning labels.
somehow in the farthest recesses of my mind i’m connecting this with ’ripley’s believe it or not’ – maybe it is rat’s unchanging expression like he is thinking ‘i don’t believe this’ or ‘really?’ and then again maybe it is ‘just me!’but i digress – i blame this on the political system!!!!
Someone in my office did this with a 4 draw filing cabinet. each one had at least 50 pounds of files. they opened the top 2 drawers and it fell over. the second drawer does not close now. But instead of fixing it, guess who lost their good cabinet and where the broken one is? served me right for stating after everyone else.

Rat had nothing to say so I guess the idea fell on deaf ears.

LOL. Rat, is such a good friend, just standing there and watching Pig, in pain, instead of calling for help
