Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 04, 2020

The HOA was right.

Pig is propositioning his ex at Pigita’s place.

almost a grammar joke

They say a preposition is a terrible word to end a sentence with.

Pig has a bow tie where his mouth should be. Did someone else shove his bow tie in his face?

Pig proved he can take a punch…

appears she wasn’t bowled over…

She put a lid on it!

It’s not that Pigita has all that many opportunities with those pearls and that ugly wig.

He showed more courage than most people do!

He should have ended the sentence with, “…for coffee.” Then she could have pretended the question was about coffee and just said, "No thanks, I never drink coffee after five pm, it gives me heartburn. But of course, that wouldn’t have been punny.

I’m only a thick ex-lorry-driver, but can someone tell me which is the preposition in that sentence? “My place” looks like a noun to me… I’m sorry if I appear ignorant in front of all you esteemed academicians…

Why does Pig put up with her? Surely not for the great sex… :D

He puts up with her for the Bacon potential…

Poor old Pig, he never seems to get lucky with Pigita :)

Pork in grape sauce! Mmmmm…!

Why does he want her – she is such a boar.

Pig why bother … she is not nice . She is a pig ;-) … Croc Power !

I aint touching this one with a ten foot pole……

At leas Pig did not say “Want to come at my place?”

…the male chauvinist…

…the swine…

… the pork byproduct…

…the green eggs and Spam…

Relationships are nowhere.

Why do they have to go back to his place? What’s wrong with her’s?

Maybe Pig should go MGTOW or in his case PGTOW.

’Tater, read carefully. He said “proposition,” not “preposition.”

Seriously? She pours the punch bowl over head just for him saying that? Sheesh, Pigita, has some major issues. Pig, needs to just dump her and move on

“Proposition”, a come-on, not “preposition”. This is for those who went to school after the 70’s.

WELL. I GUESS THE CROCS HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR AHEAD!

Well, at least she didn’t use pig iron.

We don’t do the double trailers here in Texas. Singles are long enough. I used to work at a grain elevator and had to probe and weigh the dern things.

Her pearls before his swine?

Sucker Punch.

The way she usually acts, it seems like every sentence ends with a period.

most excellent

Either there was not enuf rum in the punch, or Pig made his move too soon.

A proposition should never end with a sentence, of even a restraining order.

Never end a sentence with a pun.

The preposition is “to”, but it doesn’t end the sentence, so you’re fine. How thick was your lorry ?(Just kidding !)

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take

Stupid Pig! Still going out with that pig, Pigita?!

Un-die Sweet Fanny!

“Proposition” not “preposition”.

It’s a pun! Proposition instead of preposition!

What a punchline.

OK, grammar alert here. In English, despite what you have been taught in elementary school, it really is OK to end a sentence with a preposition, which is why it seems to some to be such a pervasive problem. English is a Germanic language, where doing so is just fine, and the whole preposition issue is from people who think English should use Latin rules. Lots of other misguided “rules” have been foisted upon the English language by these Latinists. Check out grammargirl.com for a better explanation. Great pun, Cartoon Boy!
