Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 11, 2016
Transcript:
Goat: Who's your favorite actress? Pig: Ellen Burstyn. And I heard she liked chestnuts, so I sent her 2000 pounds of them that I picked off trees. Goat: Wow. Aren't those covered in tiny burrs? Pig: Yeah, but she removed the burrs and blew them all up to get rid of them. Goat: Burstyn burst one burrs ton? Rat: You are a burr in the saddle of life.
That sound you hear is the English language screaming for mercy as Pastis once again tortures it to within an inch of its life. Seriously, that’s the most labored pun he’s ever come up with!
