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.

One wonders if the nanocoating that MIT’ers came up with that makes the inside of the bottle slick, if it’s safe for human consumption…

Luckily my mother always buys squeeze bottles. No splort. You just have to make sure you shake the bottle since the ketchup separates sometimes. Is Rat trying to get votes from younger voters by using texting language? “Rat 4 Pres?”

Can Rat invent a ketchup that’s not a non-Newtonian fluid?

I remember when Pat Paulsen of Laugh-In “ran” for President. His slogan was: "I’ve upped my standards. Now, up yours!:

One trick is to stick a butter knife in the bottle, then it flows right out, no problem.

My apologies, folks. My 64 year memory is a little faulty. Pat Paulsen was actually on the Smother Brothers Comedy Hour, not Laugh-in.
