Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 06, 2018

That must have been huge a lottery jackpot.

I need to buy one of those books about lottery winners. There have be some successes, can’t all be failures.

all I want is a chance to prove that money can’t buy me happiness

money can’t buy happiness, but the lease rates are pretty good

people who say money can’t buy happiness just don’t know where to shop

Who says money can’t buy happiness? Bacon is $5.99 per pound.

Well there’s his problem – a cheese deficiency!

He just needed better looking cars.

Forget the cars, yacht and house. If he wants to be happy, he should buy a lifetime supply of very good wine.

Buy more pork to go with the cheese.

All you need is the right horse, or sometimes a dog. Ya sure don’t need men, girls

Burt – the Notch story.

Spot on, Rat. Money doesn’t buy you happiness

LOL @ Pig’s comment!

What can you do with a fleet of cars that you can’t do with one?

The bigger the house, the bigger the sense of loneliness and isolation.

I’m 100% with Pig on this one!

Money may not buy happiness, but it can make misery a lot more comfortable.

Money buys access. What you do with that access is up to you.

Does this pose as some type of profundity for those of us without? You know, as we wait for for the dribble downs that never come, we should make merry with our lot in life? while the real wealth, via the Great Tax Heist, flees Ft. Knox headed for places unknown?

Actually, long before that, he ran out of money and had to declare bankruptcy because many lottery winners mistake a lot of money for infinite money. No, it can’t make you happy, but it can pay down your debts and help you give more to the poor. I suspect that might contribute to happiness.

Money can’t buy you happiness. It can buy you a politician. What a Capitol capital idea!

With enough money you can build your own planet and then buy everything on it. But seriously, if he doesn’t know what will make him happy, why does he assume he can buy it? Know thyself.

“I don’t care too much for money, money can’t buy me love.”

Pig might have misunderstood when someone advised him that for happiness he must first find cheeses.

Burt should buy some strippers.

He needs a woman.

The Beverly Hillbillies were just as unhappy.

Greg Kihn was once a Happy Man.

Now Lisa Stansfield swears she does not want to be a Billionaire.

Lotteries. The ultimate tax on the mathematically challenged.

He just needs MORE money… just ask any dolt who’s already uber-wealthy, and still not happy.

Physical happiness is doomed to be temporary. Spiritual happiness can be eternal. Besides, I’m allergic to cheese.

I’m surprised Pastis didn’t make this an Angry Bob strip. Bob could have died by being crushed under a pile of money.

Ah, if only I had so much money. I could stop this risky picanic basket stealing business and buy all the food I want.

“Here’s how money can buy happiness: Money gives you options, options give you breathing room, breathing room gives you control and control can offer you a measure of happiness…maybe.”- George Carlin

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yada, yada, yada, money can’t buy happiness, yada, yada, yada.

B.S.

Someone give me enough money so that i no longer have to worry about bills, or my retirement, and i’ll put a lie to that stupid statement fast.

To be young and poor is an adventure. To be old and poor is a tragedy.

The lesson, Goat, is this:

Rich is the person who has enough.

Give me some of that money and I’ll help you with happiness!

The global average “happiness income” is around $161,000/€134,581/£118,938/yr. for 13 countries surveyed. I’d donate 1/3 of it to charities, & and have fun budgeting the rest in day-to-day living.

Burt give me your money : I will be unhappy for you

Cheese whiz! Those who pay the Fools’ Tax shall not prosper….

THANK YOU, SP!

Often in the past when you have had rat the author starring, the book text has been hard to read. It looks like you put real thought into making it more accessible for those of us with damaged eyes.

I’d sure be willing to find out for myself…

pigs on crack

It seems like a good problem to have.

As American capitalism tells us, Burts only problem here is that he just needs MORE money.

The thing is, he was jumping up and down and saying “yay!” So he probably was happy, even if it was only for a few seconds.

Happiness isn’t having everything you could ever want; happiness is having nothing and still being able to laugh.
