Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 23, 2015

Transcript:
Pig: Hey, Goat, where were you this morning?
Goat: Looking at houses to possibly buy. I liked the last place I saw. The owner had a laundry chute.
Goat: You look confused.
Pig: That poor, innocent laundry.
For “laundry chute” I was thinking more along the lines of one of those carnival games with the laundry hanging on a moving clothesline, and the guy on the other side of a counter with a shotgun.
My aunt and uncle’s house had a laundry chute. It was usually guarded by the Queen of the House, their black cat. Later on, after they had passed, the house belonged to my cousin and her husband, who was a shooter; there were several long guns in the gun-locker in the basement. But the chute was never shot.Sorry, Pig.
In my 76 years, I’ve lived in 16 houses. Only ONE of them had a laundry chute. That was a rental in Chicago with 3 levels. Bedrooms on top level and laundry on the bottom level. (Actually, it was in a suburb of Chicago. But who would know where Lake Zurich is?)

Don’t worry pig; it was quick and painless.

Pig looks upset, Goat. Why not take him to a casino and invite him to shoot some craps?

It could have involved a camera. Don’t know pigs reaction if he thought that.

Stephen ought to get extra points for this; one of his more verbally economical puns.

so…..does that go with the house?
Liverlips McCracken Premium Member over 9 years ago
Why would Goat care about a laundry chute? He, and Pig & Rat & Zebra & Crocs, run around naked all the time.

LOL! Holes in my undies! That was a perfect return volley!
Arianne over 9 years ago
Pig, I don’t know if that laundry was as innocent as all that. In fact, I heard it was a very nasty, dirty sort.
Arianne over 9 years ago
Susan – I didn’t see your post when I first posted. Also a perfect return!

I often want to shoot my laundry. Unfortunately I know if I do it will just come back like something out of The Walking Dead!

At least you recognized it. Puns are best left to the professionals. Pastis excepted.
