Transcript:
Pig: Well, you sure look depressed. Man: Sorry, it's just my job. Pig: What's wrong with it? Man: Oh, the usual. Petty boss. Repetative work. Low pay. Pig: But life is too short to put up with a job like that. You need more out of life. Man: I know. Pig: You need to challenge yourself. Reach for something more! Reach for the stars! Reach for the sky! Woman: Oh God. Pig: Never try to inspire a banker.

Sing along with Sherlock:
:
Put your hands up in the air!
Wave ‘em round like you just don’t care!
And if you’re not a square from Delaware
And you have on clean underwear
And your Mama ain’t on welfare,
Somebody say “Oh Yeah!”
:
BTW, Happy New Year, y’all!

As Bill Watterson once said, “right lesson, wrong time” (Calvin was told by his mother come into the room where she is instead of yelling for her from outside; he asked for the garden hose’s whereabouts for he wondered into canine fecal matter).

This goes in the same category as the film crew arrested at the airport because they said they were going to shoot a pilot

… but the banks are made of marble, with a guard at every door
and the vaults are stuffed with silver that we all struggled for.

Good advice. Right up there with not correcting your sister’s grammar.

Pig-in-a-poke. (Someone had to say it.)
Too much enthusiasm, Pig. Leave sleepy bankers (or bank tellers) to their depression. You will then be happier. Funny, how that works….

Want to inspire a banker? Go make ten million and then give them all your money. And let them keep it.
