Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 16, 2020

Maybe Rat should continue to practice social distancing even after the pandemic is over.

Rat may be right, but unless he can do something about it there’s no point worrying about them.

Rat, the lifetime politicians don’t like folks pointing out the fact that there are too many stupid people.

How do you suspect they keep getting re-elected.

I’m living alone right now. At least the company is intelligent.

Rat got his pronouns wrong. “I” have a problem means the problem is centered on me! Too many stupid people isn’t rat’s problem unless rat is willing to do something about that plethora.

“Think about how stupid the average person is. Now think about the fact that half the people in the world are stupider than that!” – George Carlin

There is no vaccine for stupid.

And they can all be found in parking lots.

If only we could just put ’em in a box, eh Rat?

Rat’s wrong. There are far too many stupid people.

Fortunately there’s a simple solution to the problem.

There are too many smart people which are not so smart after all.

Channnel Bill Gates much?

But being stupid is not against the law!

Self improvement in this case would be making yourself smarter.

And they voted for Tom Tiffany.

Well Rat Stupid is in the eye of the beholder …. Croc Power !

I see stupid people everywhere! They do not know they are stupid! What to do?

By not practicing social distancing, may be a way to get rid of stupid people.

The fact that everyone hates “smart” mean Rat, but likes stupid, nice Pig says something about the relative importance of “smart” – and its many applications.

How many times have we seen this before?

I have to agree with RAT this time! Too many stupid people causing trouble because they’re unable to comprehend the severity of this virus! Me me me me me me

Rat beat me to it.

Rat’s right. If 100 is the average, then almost half the world has a two-digit IQ.

It’s a common problem because half the people in the world are below average. Or, below the median, to be precise, but those who are below the median don’t understand the concept.

Am I reading Pearls Before Swine or The Wizard of Id?

Margaret Atwood summed it up decades ago, “Stupidity is the same as evil if you judge by the results.”

The relative stupidity is high today.

“They got little hands, and little eyes, and they walk around, tellin’ great big lies”. Sound familiar?? Apologies to Mr. Newman.

I was going to make a comment yesterday about the comic.

Too many stupid people? Then why is he so concerned?

Step 2: Get rid of Stupid People!

That might cause some little fuse with The Law, Rat, so be creative….

Lo! Now I am become Rat, destroyer of stupid!

if people did have common sense then we wouldn’t have the butthole in the White House

Hey rat, you’d think better if your blood wasn’t so thick, take some anticoagulant candy from this pretty hardware store bag.

An egotist doesn’t think any of his problems are his own fault.

To paraphrase the great philosopher Linus van Pelt, people are never quite so stupid as when they think they’re being smart.

One of the issues is that the stupid people do not know when they are being stupid. Also, people who are smart in one area of knowledge do not realize they are ignoramuses in almost everything else.

Yo Rat,I believe that they are called TRUMP SUPPORTERS!
