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.

I share rat’s frustration.

I suppose a doctor’s advice can substitute for a reflex hammer at times.

If you’re going to mess up your foot on someone’s face….use the bad foot…it’s already messed up.

Who said he used a foot at all?

It can be really comforting to hear the words “it’s just a sprain, rest it for a week or so” vs. the alternative. (I was running up an 18" concrete saw and it stuck in the middle of the traverse for no apparent reason. Just froze up. A 1 hp motor can twist your hand in a instant and it did. Yeeeouch.)

How else would he kick his doctor in the face — with his elbow?

Be logical, folks! To kick the silly doc in his face, Rat had to brace, kung fu-like; obviously, on his good foot. So, Pig, Rat kicked with his already-injured foot, as finale suggested he should.

My Right Foot

1) Sit down on a chair.
.
2) Lift your right foot off the floor and begin making clockwise circles with it.
.
3) Using your right hand draw the number 6 in the air in front of you.
.
The point?
.
Your foot will change direction and go anti-clockwise. (Try it, you’ll see.)

A boot to the head does not require a foot to be in the boot.

No matter which way…Rat got a kick out of it.

My 80 year old mother-in-law was recently coughing up blood and waited over 3 hrs for a chest x-ray at the accident & emergency dept. She finally gave up and went home.
The caring receptionist shouted after her “cheerio!”
Our NHS system is f@!#ing marvelous.
