Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 27, 2021

Math doesn’t lie.

What is better, eternal happiness or a ham sandwich?

Nothing is better than eternal happiness, but a ham sandwich is better than nothing.

Therefore, a ham sandwich is better than eternal happiness.

good for you, Pig

Yeah. I volunteer for a couple of charitable orgs. They’ve both agreed to double my pay during the pandemic.

Mark Twain: Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Today’s background music: “Nothing from Nothing” by Billy Preston.

But he just accomplished one thing, writing down a goal. So how many times more did he do than last week? let’s see … 1 divided by 0 = …. and his head explodes.

If you try this, be prepared to have a bunch of horrible tasks to catch up on later—all at once. Try to do one horrible task per week.

♩nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’, but it’s free…

Keeper! Post it on the fridge.

Nothing is impossible. I’ve achieved the impossible all my life.

It’s good to have realistic goals. Success is a great feeling!

works for me. :D

These current reruns are funny, relevant, and nearly timeless.

MATH IS FUN!

Expectations under the lockdown.

What could be better than eternal bliss? Spending the rest of your life living with a sexy babe in a mansion.

PIG is in pig heaven! He just saved his own bacon!

Today’s earworm: Nothing from nothing leaves nothing, you gotta have something if you wanna be with me.

If I set my “Goals for the Week” on Wednesday, does that mean I have until next Tuesday to accomplish them?

There’s something that makes me happy every time I see Pig raise his arms in triumph with a big smile on his face.

“Nothing from nothing leaves nothing. Ya gotta have something if you wanna be with me!” Billy Preston.

Or like Billy Preston says: ♪♫ Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’You gotta have somethin’ if you wanna be with me…♫

It’s good to set reasonable goals.

And we owe nothing to the Arabs. They invented zero.

pig is my new favorite accountant and scheduler

Hey! Can’t argue with the math!

go to this comic. https://www.gocomics.com/pearlsbeforeswine/2020/05/26?comments=visible#commentsThe funniest thing: Pan is the god of the environment, the environment died, eh, eh?

RERUN

Logic…ya gotta love it.

Pig-perfect logic. Impressive. Convincing!

Let’s all do more nothing!

My family and I often used to play a word called Probe, where we guess each other’s words letter by letter. Before every turn, each player draws a card that gives some activity … such as “Triple the value of your first guess”. One of our staples is saying stuff like: “Three times nothing is nothing”. Ha—memories …

Who says Math doesn’t provide joy? Or am I using the wrong vowel?
