Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for May 01, 2022

If Rat’s way is easier, why is he asking for advice from Wise Ass?

Today’s background music: “What’s So Funny About Peace, Love, and Understanding” by Elvis Costello.

What do you do with drivers that swear at you after they cut you off?

I am so looking forward to all cars being self-driving.

Rat deserves a push down the hill.

Does the wise ass ever come down from the hill, like to use the toilet?

Rat, you punched-out another of the Great-Wise-Ass’s Uber Eats driver.

wise ass, meet dumb ass

Wave and smile, the natural stress will kill them quicker than anything you could do.

How come the ones who say “we’re all in this together” usually aren’t in it with us?

Rat, the other guy might punch you back!

We may be all in this together. But we’re all supposed to be behind Rat and not cut him off.

As usual, thank you for trying to be a voice of sanity, Pastis.

That’s not what Rat wanted to hear. What a snowflake

or … so you’re saying that they should know how I feel … that they should understand that they are only getting what they deserve.

That donkey was actually being helpful?

Believe in understanding but realize that everyone on the road is an idiot except you.

i understand that other drivers have their own troubles and problems and worries and heartaches that are weighing on them. i also understand that the world’d be a helluva lot better place if they’d just get the heck off the road…

Easier – until you find out the hard way that the other guy can punch back and he just might be eay be way better at it than you.

The Wise A$$ on the hill is about to get punched.

Bring back Danny Donkey.

Why’d Rat even ask if he wasn’t gonna bother listening?

RAT will never listen to the wise ass on the hill… nor anyone else….he’s gonna keep doing what he usually does….

but the fears, setbacks, injuries & heartbreaks of others aren’t as important as mine!

You asked the question, Rat, and you got the answer.

A lot of very rude impatient drivers out there.

What’s so funny about peace, love, and understanding ?

While your words exude wisdom, they have become “Pearls Before Swine” in this period of our History and I am not sure that we can ever really go back to civility. I hope and pray that I am wrong…..

People here are using guns instead of punching so they don’t hurt their hands.

And THIS is why I take The Road Less Traveled…..

I need to remember the fourth panel.

The only acceptable reason to punch another driver is when they toss trash out the window.

I want feet so strong that I can stand at a 55° angle like rat

…he also believes in retirement.

Somewhere there is a man who rear-ended the car of a young lady who was all of 90 pounds. He tried to drive away in a hit-and-run attempt. Imagine his surprise when this young lady dragged him out of his car and called the police on him to file a report. If I could go back, I would do it again.

There was a car company that made a targeting camera system in the car. You could line up and pretend to strafe the car in front of you with machine gun fire, or launch heat seeking missiles at them. It was very popular at trade shows – but never made it to mass production. The fear was it would distract the driver and cause accidents.

Smile and blow them a kiss.

Do, please, do retire, Wise Ass! You have outstayed your welcome, outgrown your usefulness. Be gone! Toodles!
