Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 18, 2023

She’ll make sure to use you up before the expiration date.

Why do I feel like playing a game of Old Maid?

Hey, Pig, that’s almost 9 months away. Give it a try.

Or a pack of ham.

At least she’s honest. you know going in there’s no chance that It could last long.

Is he the only one with that expiration date? Or is she telling him that he is an expiration date?

Pig is so full of fillers and preservatives, he will last years past any expiration date. He may only lose taste (such as wearing pants to his arm pits).

My wife just cleared the fridge of many favorite sauces that were beyond their expiration date.

It’s worse if there is an expiration date on your birth certificate.

“Here’s your sign” ~ Bill Engvall

She sours on her relationships.

The stamp is not a date. It says “When you open your mouth.”

RUN AWAY!!!

Hey pig that is a long lasting milk take a look at the date

Pig’s next stamp: U.S. Inspected Pork.

I see that the lady travels prepared.

If he could keep himself cool, he could last past the expiration date.

What is Sarah’s expiration date ? ….. That is a two way street ;-)

Wow, a little over seven months. She must really like him.

2-23-24? Plenty of time to knock one off!!

don’t know about the wokees, but when i was on the meat market, she would’ve been politely referred to as a Heel. you know, the piece everyone’s touched, but no one wants…

Hopefully she doesn’t love bacon.

This is what happens when you date outside your species.

Meh. I’d take it.

You look like a rasher of bacon.

He’s gonna make it to Groundhog’s Day next year. Maybe that day will repeat for her like the movie.

She’s giving him 7 months – that’s a pretty good run for Pig.

When he showers that could wash off way before the date, unless it is permanent ink. At least, we would hope he showers before February.

That would not work for me.

also known as a use by date

or appreciate the honesty. You Know the roller coaster will end. Doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the ride.

Milk never goes bad, it just turns into a different food.

Seems oddly specific… does she always end relationships in late February, or is it more of a “seven months and a week” itch type of thing?

Pig should feel like a piece of pork about to be BBQed!

The Number of the Beast didn’t turn out the way the Bible implied.

The milk has no knowledge of the date. Just sniff it and keep it if it’s good.

7 months is about the same as the average length of my bachelor days relationships, until my current relationship, which is going on 41 years.

What about Pigita??? (I guess they are on the outs right now)

February 23, 2024. I wonder if that date has anything to do with anything or if it’s just random.

I’m pretty old, and a young woman came up to me and wanted to date me. However, she used the word “carbon”.

That’s longer than most.

Why would Sarah want to date a pig? Maybe Porky Pig…

I’m glad he gets to make it through Valentine’s Day

Hard Hearted Hannah, the Vamp of Savannah, Australia.

February 23, 2024. Good times until then.

Looks like the expiration date is 2/23/2024, so he’s got a few months of good times.

That’s a boink until date. Enjoy until.

Well, ham does expire pretty soon, unless it’s well-smoked. Pig should start smoking… :D

That’s what the 1960s song “We’ll Sing in the Sunshine” is all about.

Look at it this way – your first date is already out of the way

Like canned pineapple.

My 72nd birthday.

2-23-24: The date I will stop checking to see if Medium Large has updated.

And you wonder why people aren’t I relationships much anymore.

You look more like a gallon, Pig. But it’s good to know your expiry date, I guess….

Falls on a Friday. At least you’ll have the rest of the weekend alone….to laugh or cry, as the case may be….

I think that might be what they call a red flag.
