Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 15, 2021

Just make sure to buy a cup of coffee and a snack from them as good manners.

That compass is the only magnetic thing about Rat.

how spot on can you get?

That compass has a flat moral .

Happy news. He’s a hacker, and you are screwed.

Should I invade the nation’s Capitol Building?

Rat has a Nike® compass?

Let me guess too. Is it “password”?

I see a hot-selling novelty item.

In An Orc on the Wild Side, Tom Holt pointed out that to banjax a compass, you just have to put a big chunk of metal next to it. Iron for an ordinary compass, gold for a moral compass.

I like the compass.

A local church has Wifi without password. It is very busy every day except Sunday.

Yeah, go for it – if they didn’t want you to do it, they would lock it down better.

What’s the password, “Bob”?

I’m surprised his compass doesn’t have “drink beer” on it a few times.

Aw. Isn’t that nice? And I thought that Rat didn’t have a Moral Compass. I am wondering though, if he might possibly have a two-sided compass with only “Don’t Do It” on the other side – just in case he might “need” an alternative answer (to tell him not to do the right thing).

It is hard to say Rat and moral in the same sentence.

Political guidance.

I wonder if certain politicians consult their compass before deciding on something asinine?

Rat’s moral compass hasn’t changed in the last 20 years.

Hummm …… For Rat the compass should say “Been There Done That” ….. Croc Power !

Actually that is the Clinton’s moral compass

This is why I keep my WiFi network hidden.

he shares his compass w/ politicians, I guess.

Do it, points in all directions….

If your password can be figured out (particularly by Pig), you aren’t really trying.

Get a second opinion, Pig.

Why is it considered stealing WiFi when it’s trespassing into my house?

That’s a NE doit, which is French (I believe) for ‘should not’.

A one-track compass.

Anagram of the day: moral compass = classroom map. Both should guide you and point you in the right direction.

Rat’s Moral Compass; Another Fine Product of Trump Industries. (Not available in Stores.)

Why bother guessing? Do what I did: pole the router and have it tell you its password.

Rat gives new meaning to the phrase, “non COMPASS mentis”!!

Rat has morals?

He IS consistent……

Rat’s moral compass needs a moral compass…..

TRUE STORY. Our neighbor has named his WiFi network “Protect the 2nd Amendment.”

My sister-in-law was shocked to learn I didn’t have a password on my Wi-Fi. I told that 2 friends – a coder and a systems administrator – had assured me that this posed no risk, that no one could get into my computer that way.

“But – they’re using it without paying!”

“So?”

That one stumped her; she just couldn’t conceive of being willing to share.

My baby sister, on the other hand, had so many teen hooligans piggybacking on hers that she had no bandwidth left; she changed her password – and changed the name of the network to “Get your own damn Wi-Fi!”

First, ask them to rotate their WiFi router for your best signal.

I want one of those.

That Pig of all characters was able to guess the password points to a ridiculously simple password. The neighbor obviously asked for it.

And he’s not the only one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_most_common_passwords

Where can I get one of those?

“Hey Rat, should I donate to charity?”

I wonder how many people would say: “What is a moral compass?”

Friendliest moral compass ever, though maybe not the most truthful….

To some it looks like it might be a Nike commercial
