Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for August 19, 2012
Transcript:
Goat: Hey, Pig...what's on your forehead? Pig: It's a 'post-idiot'...they're post-its that are stuck on idiots' foreheads to designate their level of stupidity. One's the most, unfortunately. Goat: Let me guess whose ridiculous idea that was. Rat: It's a brilliant idea, hornhead. Goat: Why is that brilliant? Rat: Because you walk through life not knowing who the idiots are! That gives them the element of surprise! And that's how they ruin your day! Goat: Oh, great. So now every single person in this diner can just avoid Pig and be happy? Rat: They're not that happy. Sadly, I ran out of post-its.

Lest I repeat myself, my Grandfather used to say: “Hang a white tissue from the end of your nose so that we know your brain has surrendered.”

Sadly the one who really needs it, needs every single one of them, isn’t wearing one because he placed them on all there. Rat, the biggest idiot of all.

If it’s any consolation, Pig—there are so many Number Ones in the room! I am somewhat surprised that Rat has not yet been chased by a lynch-mob.

I think Rat is the epitome of Neal Boortz or visa versa. LOL
Arianne over 12 years ago
Give it up, Rat. They’ve got your number.
knight1192a over 12 years ago
No, that’s Rat. Rat’s a Number 2 head.

Or, instead of a number, you could just give them a Nobel Peace Prize.

Rat was last seen running for his life, being chased by an angry mob (with torches). More details at 11.

Where is Sarge (from Beetle Bailey) when we need him to leave Rat in a crumpled heap?

Rat just needs one post-idiot…for himself. Just avoid Rat and everyone can be happy.
Sherlock Watson over 12 years ago
If Rat doesn’t start running, he might get “marked” with an actual wooden post. Don’t ask how.
starbase502 over 12 years ago
Wow. Rat is actually making some good points.

Don’t look now, but Step might owe Bill Engvall a royalty….“Here’s your sign!”

Then again, if none of these people are idiots, why don’t they just take the notes off their heads? Come to that, why did they sit still and let a rat touch them in the first place?
Perkycat over 12 years ago
I love ‘hornhead’.

Idiots have warning marks on them. They are called tattoos.
