Transcript:
Pig: I'm starting a pageant for women this year. But it's not based on their looks. It's based on their demeanor.
Goat: Great, Pig. What's it called?
Pig: Miss Demeanor 2016.
Goat: Let's re-think this.
Rat: Do felons qualify?
It was sad. All the women who entered the competition slipped out the back way when they found out that Rat was on the panel of judges. Pig thought they’d been kidnapped and called 911. They tried to get him to specify the nature of his emergency… but finally hung up because he kept repeating, “I TOLD you! It’s a big Miss take!”
To “re-think” this, Goat, one must assume that Pig “thought” in the first place! LMAO at that!(Shut it, Rat. Cartoon-Boy is bad enough without your help.)
