Transcript:
Woman: Hi, Pig. I've been walking the streets all night and haven't had a chance to go to the post office. Can I borrow some postage?
Pig: Sure. Here you go.
Rat: What'd she need?
Pig: Tramp stamp.
At least twenty or maybe even thirty years ago, I found it fascinating (in a purely scientific way, of course) to observe the visible tramp stamps on bare-midriffed young ladies in the college town in which I worked. It was quite the popular tattoo-fad of the time….

At least Pig is honest.

Does it stick on by itself, or do you lick it?
timgilley about 8 years ago
She has a mouth. That’s a new twist on PBS human characters. Must be related to Pastis.

Good job!

Left it in the parking garage. Or was that a ramp stamp? It was pretty humid, so by now it might be a damp ramp stamp.

Yikes! I wonder if Pig nailed that one or not. They say the way you dress says a lot about you.
hooglah about 8 years ago
You mean she had a tattoo?
AtypicalReader about 8 years ago
Well, I’m pretty sure he meant “tramp” as in walking all over, but from the way she’s dressed, the other meaning might fit her just as much.

Wasn’t she cold out all night dressed like that? Hell, it was even too cold for that here in SoCal last night, Nov. 3
Number Three about 8 years ago

It was so cold, she got a cramp, giving her a…no…I just can’t say it…
CrouchingBruin about 8 years ago
Is she going to paste it to her back?
nerdhoof about 8 years ago
Maybe I’m the only one who remembers the Sonny and Cher TV show. “She was a scamp and a camp and a bit of a tramp, she was a V – A – M – P, vamp!”

Unfortunately, she looks like she’s been a forever stamp tramp, forever!
