Transcript:
Pig: Where you off to Goat?
Goat: Flower market.
Pig: What do they sell there?
Goat: Pig just listen to the words...' Flower... Market'... so the answer is flowers. They sell flowers.
Pig: So the Flea Market must be an awful place.
“Please say “black market” around Pig or we’ll all be in trouble.” I think you meant to say, “Please DON’T say “black market” around Pig or we’ll all be in trouble.”
Give Pig a break, folks! He is thinking! He is using his brain as a Vulcan would, coming to a severely logical conclusion, though it happens to be wrong.
Reminds me of a previous “Pearls” where Pig asks Pigita about the meaning of a lawbreaker, and when told a lawbreaker breaks the law, he assumes his windbreaker breaks wind.

Pig sure has one small, small brain. Maybe the size of a mustard seed… then again, maybe no brain at all

The term “flea market” comes from the idea that people sell their old clothes there. Along with the old fleas in the clothes. So pig isn’t far wrong.

Pug doesn’t go out much, does he? Many have mentioned the black market, but what about the mini market? What does he think it’s sold there?

I like garage sales, the prices are great but the moving costs are vicious!

Come on Goat, it could be a market on Flower Street, or the lot that it’s held on could be owned by someone with the last name Flower.
