Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 13, 2017

Is Pig applying for a job or breaking up with a boyfriend?

Pig, that’s how you respond to deeply UNprofessional adversity.

D) is the way I respond to my alarm clock every morning.

Maybe ‘twas the necktie, Pig, of why you didn’t get the job; too flashy of colors.

E) Find the chowderhead that came up with the idea of asking stupid questions like this on a job application and smack him upside the head repeatedly!

Why does pig have a tie tied around his nose?

You got points for avoiding the pre-packaged answers and writing your own, but the correct answer was “E) Distance yourself from the problem and set up a co-worker to be the scapegoat.”

I guess they didn’t appreciate his outside-the-box thinking.

If you’re applying for a management position, the correct answer is:

F) “Why Sir, that’s a fantastic idea!”

So Pig is left handed. He should appear more creative as a left handed guy, like his creator !!! and me.

“I’m sorry, I will not be continuing this application. Clearly your company has fallen prey to new-age HR psycho-babble.”

All of the above.

Pig is an innovator, How could pig work for someone like that? Pig is not black coffee and toast, he’s redbull and a chocolate donut. Bam!

E) Blame Hillary

But did you get the ice cream?

I would hire him if he wrote an answer like that!

Don’t know what the job was, but it obviously wasn’t public office; A, B, and C wouldn’t even be options.

I’d personally choose C.

Pig is a great cartoon character.

But I would not hire him. Not even for a cartoon-part….

I like eating ice cream, but not when I’m crying..
