Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 05, 2021

Delegate responsibility to subordinates and blame them when it all goes wrong.

According to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Pig is fit to rule the universe.

In Rat’s case, he’d throw people down a cliff or make people hold multiple helium balloons.

And if you’re President Biden, blame everyone else for the bad choice you do eventually make. And then go off to your vacation home in Delaware and leave everyone else to deal with the consequences of your bad choice.

I figure each nap is like riding a high speed people mover closer to oblivion, and since I’m old I may be running out of rides.

Call GHOSTBUSTERS!

Kurt Vonnegut taught that if you really cannot decide, simply choose one option to be “heads” and the other “tails” and flip a coin. Note how you feel after you get the result, and if you are disappointed, then just do the other thing. Because if you really are unable to choose the better course, then they are equally good (or bad) and it doesn’t matter so far as you are able to predict which you pick.

Personally, I think Pig has the right idea. No way are you going to come up with the best decision if you’re sleep deprived.

“Nap” is definitely the default solution of the current pres.

Works for me!

Rat’s solution: drink beer ’til Croc looks like best hook up.

If you feel refreshed, why would you take a nap? If he is always refreshed then he is refreshed before his nap.

Another valid response is, “So what?”

The trolls have to really stretch to try to make this about politics. Amazing that such rigid minds can pretend stretching.

A occasional nap is good to recharge your battery in a matter of speaking!

Well, sometimes the best thing you can do is “nothing” in which case a nap is one way to pass the time waiting for it to resolve itself. Go Pig!

Nap may be perfect in this situation. Let the subconscious work on it.

It doesn’t matter what decision you make. Somebody is not going to like it.

I believe that’s a common symptom of clinical depression.

If you’re in office, just look for a scapegoat and lie around all day like an idiot.

James T Kirk just changed the parameters of the test.

Isn’t that what all leaders do?

Easy: Choose the one that lets get up again fastest.

Ronald Reagan, JFK, and Bill Clinton napped daily. So do I!

If you’re Jim Kirk, you cheat.

Hey, y’all, there’s too much politikin’ goin’ on ‘round heah. Let’s talk about sex. Pig is male—right?

I think Pig is making a 2,000 IQ move. If every option is bad, why even choose an option? Yes, this is big brain time.

Well pig, if life were a football game, this would be the time to punt.

Cheat. It’s what Kirk did to pass the Kobayashi Maru exercise.

Why not sleep through a bad choice time.Maybe tomorrow will be different.

Blame it on Trump?

Joe? Joe Biden? Doing a guest shot on Pearls Before Swine?! Well, I’ll be….

I don’t ever leave the house. How does Stephen Pastis manage to spy on me like this?!?

There are some companies that follow Pig’s idea.

The test question is a description of normal every day existence.

Pig isn’t wrong.

You’re confused, that was Trumps only response.

Pig and I are of one mind when it comes to this.

pig has the correct answer, although i would add “have a snack” beforehand.

There’s nothing better than a good, peaceful nap.

I like Pig’s Choice. It’s a refreshing change from heroic stoicism in the face of All-Bad-Options….

Or golf like t-f-g did while 60k Americans died. Trumpli-cons are nothing but marks for the grift.

POWERnap for increased productivity. True leaders never simply take a nap.

Pig nails it again.
