Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 28, 2014

This is like that old joke about a couple that hated each other but stayed married for 60 years, because they’re “waiting for the children to die.”

Even though he only knows one, I would hate to know what is Rat’s interpretation of the world’s six other wonders.

60 years together for my parents. Mom passed on not quite 3 years ago to prepare a place for my Dad when his turn comes.

Wife: “As soon as I figure out a way to kill his clones, watch out!”

Pig, you are easily wonderstruck! Nice old folks. Will we ever see them together again?

after sixty years, there are no feelings left, just don’t want to be alone.

There are lots of inorganic things and organic creatures that have been (sarcastically) described as "The Eighth Wonder of the World…the boar and the rodent are tied for #9!

My folks are ay 58 years right now. Not too shabby.

Are we speaking from experience? Hmmm

Yes. Just yes – except it’s not a “Wonder.” It’s just the Truth.

Can’t kill him. Who would take out the trash ??

If “Six Chix” wins a Reuben, the award not only loses all meaning, it becomes an actual insult to other winners.

My parents made a pact; Whoever filed for divorce got the kids. They’ve been together for 67 years.

That’s as rare as finding a dinosaur fossil.

Dale Evans was asked if she ever thought about divorcing Roy Rogers. She replied “Divorce? never. Murder, a couple of times”

Staying together fifty years or more without divorce is actually becoming a wonder these days. Even more of a wonder, staying together that long with it being your first marriage.

Reminds me of when my grandpa said of my grandma: “I wouldn’t trade her for two just like her.”

My wife and I, 54 years and counting and the love keeps growing stronger.

My Mom & Dad celebrated their 64th anniversary this past February. When they married (1950), it was fairly easy to find married couples that had been together 50 or 60 years. Not so much anymore, sad to say…

These comments are sweet!

I thought perhaps Rat was going to pull out a mirror
