At its heart, Pearls Before Swine is the comic strip tale of two friends: an arrogant Rat who thinks he knows it all and a slow-witted Pig who doesn't know any better. Together, this pair offers caustic commentary on humanity's quest for the unattainable. Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams says that Pearls is "one of the few comics that make me laugh out loud." The strip has twice won the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben division award for Best Newspaper Comic Strip – in 2003 and in 2006.

The yapping is worse. I am not interested in your petty stupid lives and their boring idiocy. SHUT the heck up in Public, go outside, in a closet, not where I have to hear you. Or put up with me making comments, most far more intelligent than your conversations. OMG im rat!

in-public cell phone users require attention.
it’s the only reason they exist.

I was just going to say, “Rat, is that you?”

Someone once sold a CD of nothing but fart noises. That would make for an interesting ringtone, especially if the phone’s owner doesn’t know about it.

One of Murphy’s newer laws: The more annoying the ringtone, the longer it takes someone to answer it.

I don’t think people would mind cell phone calls in public places nearly as much if people wouldn’t speak twice as loud on the phone. (It’d be interesting to know the psychology of that.)
“So I said to the subcontractor that— (ringtone) excuse me.” opens phone. “OH, HI!!! I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THE SUB…”

The ability to make calls on an airplane will be the last straw for me flying.

Coffee? —Spilled, of course. Beer? —Spilled. Plate of food? —Spilled. Rating of Rat’s ringtone? —Priceless!
Today, I am on Rat’s side again, even though I find that an uncomfortable place.

Perhaps someone can implant a virus that when the cell phone rings, it explodes.

The “ringtone” I hate the most is the one most popular here with grandparents, of their grandchild yelling “GRAMMA! PHONE!!”

Our local "annoying " ringtone is that Damn “Dixie” car horn from “The Dukes of Hazzard”!
And Briatollah, you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!

Yeah, and I’d pay to hear it.
