Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 14, 2012

That happened to me with a flashlight once. I was outside in the field at night, I thought I had set it down somewhere, and I was shining it around frantically trying to see where I had put it. These things happen.

Right, and by the way, have you seen my glasses?

Right, and by the way…. have you seen my brain? I had it… I had a thought… pretty blonde walked into the room… and brain be gone…. please contact me now if you know the whereabouts of my brain, or send me another cute blonde.

What? couldn’t he have 2 cell phones! or he could’ve “borrowed” that one?

Oh pig, I’ve done the same thing~

I’m always forgetting where I put my stash…..

I’ve done the glasses one many times…. and what about driving to my neighbor’s cos I’m carrying a lot of stuff (I shop for her), forgetting and walking home, and then….. I have to panic cos my car is gone.

And my cordless phone has three handsets. Using one to page the one I can’t find…. but it keeps saying “busy”….. cos I’m paging the one I’m using….again….

This is so true! I’ve done it with my house keys; thought I lost them in a restaurant, but they were just in a different pocket from the usual….

“Car keys, house key, cell phone, wife”……………………………………… Keep repeating and simplify your life!

I almost did this yesyerday, and I thought, “What a great idea for a comic strip.” Only I pictured Earl Pickles or Dagwood. Pig makes it funnier.

I’ve had something like that happen to me.

I remember my daughter in law trying to call her mother to tell her she had her cell phone.

Or the time I took my wife’s car to the grocery store. I came out and couldn’t find MY car,saw her car and thought “At least she is here so I can get a ride home.”

One time I was frantically looking for my wallet only to be told, correctly, “It’s in your hand.” Now that was embarrassing.

Lost a bunch of my house keys somewhere and 3 months later they showed up… in the house. Sigh…

Holy cats, I laughed harder reading the comments than I did reading the strip!

But someone else oft can find them for you. My mum misplaced glasses a lot—usually in one built-in cabinet (where I would invariably find them).

“Now, to get help, I’ll need the number for 911…”

I remember one time I lost my keys. Found them two days later in the refrigerator (don’t ask).

After my wife died I had to get one of those cords to let me put my glasses around my neck because I didn’t have her around to tell me where they were.

Too bad they don’t have cords like that for keys, cell phones and other stuff. On the other hand we’d all be bent over with the weight of it.

And on the other hand (how many does that make?) I think that there is a new invention called a purse, but they are only for women.

I think everybody has done something like that

i’ve misplaced my phone in my hand a billion times lol its embarrassing when your searching for it really hard

Of all the things I’ve lost, I miss my mind the most . . .

Rat’s right to tell Pig to get help. After all, who these days has a cell phone with a retractable antenna anymore?

I have lost my keys in my purse so many times my sister bought me a hanger for them to hang them off the side of the opening. :[

We had a ‘91 Plymouth Voyager and a couple of times when I’d gone on an errand I came out and used my key to open the car’s door. Things didn’t seem quite right – the innards of the car didn’t smell right, or were too pristine – and I realized it was the wrong Plymouth Voyager, though the key worked. On at least one of these occasions I had driven our little ancient Mazda and forgot about that. Both times I beat a hasty retreat and no one noticed. Nowadays similar models are made so that the key never works on other cars.

does pig have 2phones?

Just like Mrs. Richards!

Sad to say but I’ve done the same thing talking to my friend on my cell phone while frantically searching for it. The worst was when I had it on speaker while talking and couldn’t remember where I put it.

LOL LOL… So funny today!

xxx

Vicious circle!

Pig is so pathetic

When I was with Doug in the Philippine campaign we were at the O club at Subic Bay having a delightful time with some simply gorgeous little girls and boys when we ran into old Bull, who had misplaced an entire carrier group. How we razzed him about that.

He thought they were in New Guinea waters, but it turned out that he had left them back at Pearl! God, but he was embarrassed, however he got things ship-shape in no time.

Had a hard time keeping it in his pants, did old Bull. No sense in going on about that here, though. Poor guy had a problem with sea-sickness and the runs. Rinsed a lot.

When was the last time they sold a cellphone with an antenna?

Remember that scene in Jumanji where the kid was using an ax to break into a shed so he could get an ax?

And the last panel is ironic too: Rat tells Pig to get help when he’s already helped him!

…been there/done that….

That has happened to me! Senior moment!

HAHAHAHA!!! Been there, done that. Ditto for my wife. Ditto for my wife. Oh, and ditto for my wife :-D

Hello, mmm…. er, where can one go to get help with this problem?

Not too long ago I was having a crazy day at work, and I usually keep two pens in my pocket. Well, I had to sign off a chart and couldn’t find either pen anywhere, and figured I had left them somewhere. I asked the nurse beside me if I could borrow her pen for a minute since I couldn’t fine mine anywhere, and she just glanced up at my head and slowly, wordlessly handed me her pen for me to sign off an order. I handed it back to her, thanked her, and headed off to do something else. Imagine my embarrassment later in the ladies room when washing my hands and looking up at the mirror to see a pair of pens stuck on either side of my head in my ponytail.

I once lost my flash drive, and it contained a project that was 20% of my grade, and it was in my pocket (the teacher made fun of me for the rest of the year for that)

I always wear a pair of light weight reading glasses down on the end of my nose, looking over the top of them most of the time. One day I left the house on my bicycle, got halfway up “the hill” and suddenly thought I’d left them behind. I stopped, losing all momentum. While debating with myself whether to turn back (meaning another trip up the hill), I suddenly realized I’d had them all along. No, not on my head. Right there on my nose.

Yessiree, it’s Saturday.

with all the crocs who died with this wall up

how many crocs zebra buried on his backyard?for what ive seen zebra respects the dead a lot (and hates how the crocs treat their s ) isnt hard to imagine a huge graveyard made by zebra with countless of tombstones for the crocs ( more than half named bob)

My husband once misplaced the remote control. Turned out to be in the refrigerator… lol!

lol once my son did this to me he is a crazy guy but i love him

that happens to me: i’m looking for the car keys so i open the car WITH THE KEYS and try to find it in there.

when i was young i was holding my hat and i was screaming “WERES MY HAT?!!?!” then my mom said, “its in your hand.”

So thats where I left it
