Pig: Hiya, Goat... I'd like you to meet my friend, Elizabeth, she's with child. Goat: Oh, how wonderful. When are you expecting? Elizabeth: Who said I was expecting? Goat: Perhaps you could use a different expression next time. Pig: What's wrong with "I'd like you to meet my friend?"

To answer Big Betty’s question, Pig said it. She should know that; she was right there.:He should have introduced them individually: “This is my friend Elizabeth. This is her child. And this is her beer gut.”

Goat should really examine Pig’s acquaintances to make sure they really are what Pig says they are (like for example make sure Elizabeth has a child with her, not in her).

Obviously she was expecting to be insulted.A less violent but equally devastating response would have been, “Any moment now I expect to be offered a drink.”

Pig has a way with words. Usually the wrong way.

Being Pig’s friend is a dangerous occupation for Goat. He becomes the default Fall Guy.

I once ran into a friend who I knew was pregnant, but hadn’t seen for weeks. I asked her “When is your baby due?” She said she had it a month earlier. AWKward………

I agree with Ripley. Penguins are not working yet.

The classic comment of Dave Barry comes to mind. For those who aren’t familiar with it, it goes, “You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.”

Pig uses correct grammar. He knows nothing about common usage.

Put pig in an oven bag, bake @350 deg. for about 3.5 hours…..that should do it.
