Transcript:
Pig: Hey there, Goat. I'd like you to meet my friend, Willie. Goat: Hell, hello, Willie... Do you enjoy being a jockey? Willie: Jockey? I'm not a jockey. Why does everyone ask me that? Pig: Not everyone short is a jockey, you know.
“Hey tall man…it would really help me out if you could answer this question that has me up at night: are you a basketball player?” (yes, it always seems to be asked, need to be known, otherwise no conversation can progress)
Pig, it’s not a case of jockey shorts. It’s a case of jockey silks. And boots, and helmet, and whip. Or hadn’t you noticed how friend Willie is dressed? Goat was (as usual) being perfectly reasonable.What does Willie do?
It took me some time to realize that you’re not dissing x_Tech’s awesome rhyme. You just confused sulfuric acid with sulfhydric acid (aka hydrogen sulfide in water).

I think he has a job as a lawn ornament, or boot scraper, or hitching post . . . I saw a lot of them growing up.

So… Is cartooning and being allowed to verbalize bad puns a step-up from being a lawyer?

Is he a Jockey SHORT ???
knight1192a about 11 years ago
True Pig, not everyone short is a jockey. But the odds are pretty good that if you’re short and dress like a jockey you’re probably a jockey.
Popeyesforearm about 11 years ago
That Pig, what a ham. He really got Goats goat. They’re lucky they weren’t Ratted out.
Snoopy_Fan about 11 years ago
Yeah… Kinda like “Not everyone who is pink with a curly tail is a pig…”
Strod about 11 years ago
That’s okay, sir. Once I realized your small mistake I found your comment very funny.
