Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for February 20, 2013

Or he’s a repairman of any sort.

What are we to expect more from someone that names a rat Rat, names a goat Goat, and so on?

Dave’s not here man. But if he was it would be sometime between soup and nuts,

cabel mann need to go to deenir wif crokydiles

I will laugh somewhere between 9AM – 12PM

He will be there at 6:05 or 9:55 P.M..

@Radish I guess not.

I’ve known several pigs in my lifetime oink oink!

Cable company? You sure he doesn’t work as a repairman for just about any company that might send them out to your house? I’ve had the same thing happen with the dishwasher. “We’ll be out around 2:30.” Three hours later they finally show up.

Since he works for the cable company, he should have said the ten-ten window.

he eats off of a DISH

Unlike the stand-up comic, cable guys do not “git ’er done.”

Expect him at 10:30.

So, what time do Pig and Goat plan to dine? In this country (USA), probably 6:00 or 7:00, maybe 7:30 would be likely. On the other hand, I’ve experienced Mediterranean countries where (especially in the warmer seasons) “dinner time” might be 10:00 or 11:00 or 11:30 PM. In this country, many restaurants close at 9:00 PM, which is when some in Greece open for the evening! —Not that I’m trying to make excuses for the Friend Daves of this world….

Sounds like Time-Warner.

They grate a-pun your nerves, eh?

I hear Pig eats like a pig.

I vote for shoving Dave out the four-hour window…

I must have an odd cable company…they come on time if not early. One time they said between 8am-12pm. They came around 8
