Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for September 28, 2024

After leaving the cafe, she got on her cycle.

I have also been misunderstood with that particular word.

Get a grip, Pig!

Isn’t that a menopause thing?

Wasn’t that one of those products of the sort Ronco sold? Cramp-on, cramp-off….

Suddenly, I got a muscle cramp in my right calf while reading this.

Maybe they’re like cruffins.

From the Amer. Herit. Dict. 5th Ed.:

crampons: A framework of metal spikes strapped or clipped to the sole of a boot or shoe to prevent slipping when walking or climbing on ice and snow. Also called climbing iron.

Well, Pig, for some of us that’s what it’s like: surviving it is like climbing a high, dangerous mountain. Cramp ON!

The word “Piton” makes Pig uncomfortable, too. He doesn’t like to discuss urinary problems, either.

I remember an annoying commercial for a product called “HeadOn”, which supposedly relieved headaches by rubbing the product, which resembled a glue stick, onto one’s forehead. I’m surprised that they never came out with an ED relief product called “HardOn”.

Pig: What do you mean males can have angina too?

Pig would be more interested if she said she was buying pie-tons.

Some things cannot he discussed with the opposite sex.

I’m not comfortable talking to a pig, but you are special!
