Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 26, 2011

Makes sense to me …

I think I’ll hang up and e-mail.

Brevity is the solo[sic] of wit…

voice-male dominant

I also encourage Brevity, it’s one of the wittiest strips on this site.

Sad thing is, this is an improvement for Rat…

Rat has a point. But Pig should have some input before a new message is put up.

Yes — I like to encourage Brevity too, as Otto knows, and a few others…

Guy and rOdd should indeed be happy that Steph does too.

Meanwhile…. note that Rat takes 32 words (±) to encourage others to be brief.

Rat’s motto has always been “Do as I say, not as I do.”

And then I was going to write a five page summary as to the benefits of brevity/Brevity, but decided that brevity is the soul of wit.

IF YOU SO MUCH AS UTTER ONE SYLLABLE, I’LL HUNT YOU DOWN AND GUT YOU LIKE A FISH!! If you’d like to fax me press the star key. Grinch.

odd. . .better check the outgoing.

Rat must be mellowing; he isn’t threatening callers with a baseball bat, shovel or 2 X 4.

Doesn’t EVERYBODY know that the telephone is for OUTGOING calls? ONLY…?

I have my machine cut people off at 30 seconds. My father in law would leave long, drawn out messages that would go on for several minutes. Yessh.

Oh my God.. I would SO put that on my Voicemail.

LOL LOL xxx

What PaRoWe said. Pearls Before Swine used to be my favorite online comic, i miss those funny old strips : /

Pig should take Rat at his word, and leave, “Hi! This is Pig and Rat. Leave a brief message.”

OTOH, I can sympathize with Rat—just a smidgen.

I’ve had messages left that ran out of time after two minutes. . . .

Brief.

Well, at least he cut the swearing.

Leave your name and number and hang up.
