Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 13, 2015
Transcript:
Goat: I saw that rude guy cut you off in the parking lot, you remained so peaceful. Rat: Yes, it's my new approach to other drivers. I calm myself through concentration. Goat: Concentration on what? Rat: The knowledge that one day the rude man will day. Goat: That's not that peaceful. Rat: It will be when he's gone!

Except Rat will forget all about this guy when he tries calling customer service again.

But that rude guy probably has a longer lifespan than a rat.

Pastis should come to Texas sometime, home of the most sociopathic and idiotic drivers in the US.

I am not angered by your actions.I only mourn your human folly and mortality.It is that lowly state which has rendered you such.-“I was waiting for my hearse What came next was so much worse It took a funeral to make me feel alive”-Sixx:A.M – “Life Is Beautiful” – The Heroin Diaries – 2007-Rat is right, again.

I’ve always thought similar to rat. I’ll dance on all the rude people’s graves eventually.

Douchebag Parkers are bad, but my personal choice for an early ugly death are the Left Lane Bandits.

“Rest in peace, dude!”Rat’s new meditative state should last at least until the next time he’s cut off by some jerk.

Maryland has the worst, because you don’t have to really know how to drive to get a license there. Also, you can get multiple DUIs and still be allowed to keep driving.:As for the biggest idiots on the road, I vote for people who have no idea what a turn signal is for.

Arizona is scary. When I moved here I handed over my California DL, and they gave me an AZ license, good for nearly 30 years (until I turn 65) without so much as asking me if I knew how to drive. A lot of people on the road obviously don’t know how.
And unsurprisingly, AZ is the worst state for pedestrians getting killed by “licensed” motorists.

“That’s not that peaceful.” It’s also not nearly soon enough.

the idea is to drive and arrive. preferably in a happier state of mind than everybody else. go carefully, there’s a lot of whack jobs out there.

I just tell myself that that driver will be keeping the cops busy while I’m passing by where’s he’s been stopped.

I always take comfort in knowing that Rat will die one day.Just kidding. This strip would be rubbish without Rat. He’s a character I love to hate.xxx

In rural Michigan, drivers practice defensive driving. In Detroit,they practice offensive driving.

I am confident that an exception will be made in my case. (paraphrasing Saroyan)
