Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 17, 2015

“I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.” (Tom “T-Bone” Stankus):I SAID IT FIRST! I SAID IT FIRST!

Might St Pats Day have anything to do with this? green bow tie? lol

Wondering who would e-mail a barrista.

Rat did as you asked, Joe. Let him go (take that as you will….)

I was thinking Dorothy Parker said it first, but on investigation, the origins are murky. It has probably been used by hundreds of comedians and musicians.

Thanks, Sherlock. I heard that in a song of his many years ago on Dr. Demento’s show, and couldn’t remember his last name. Nor the name of the song, but YouTube has it for the first 5 entries.

I always preferred the full version; I’d rather have a free bottle in front of me than a pre-frontal lobotomy.

I’d wish I could use that reply! But I’m at the office currently…

Mail, email. Bills, spam. Same difference.

That’s a great way to let the Orcs know your home is open for burglary. Same warning against using Face Book or any social media.

Don’t change anything, Rat.

They always say honesty is important.
