    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.

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

    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.

    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. . . .
