Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for July 06, 2021

3:23 pm. Nobody expects anything to happen at 3:23 pm.

26:92, every Jonesday.

When you are sitting in your bathroom.

The only spontaneous I’m at ALL good at is “combustion”…

Ask Gmail to send you text messages at specific times. The text messages will tell you what you are supposed to do at those times.

3:00 a.m. is a good time to spontaneously appear in your girlfriend’s bedroom.

A quarter to never.

I am partial to 12:34, or the dentist’s favorite time, 2:30….

Try 4:20 Pig, provided your in a location where you can find a dispensary where the prices are not too jacked up…..

Oh dark thirty hours works best for me!!!

(- _ -)

Pig, you’re missing the point of the exercise.;-D

You could be spontaneous at 4:59pm, but everybody at work would hate that.

I see “Spontaneous Combustion” coming in that relationship!

I can never be as wild and spontaneous as Pig! :D

Let her go, Pig. She doesn’t deserve you. She can go be spontaneous somewhere else.

Pig don’t understand spontaneous do he.

Pig’s got a girlfriend?

At thirteen o’clock.

Now.

you can combust spontaneously; the smell of bacon appeals to most people

I’m gonna buy PIG a Thesaurus ….

Try sometime in the late afternoon.

I never plan my day, because then the word “premeditated” gets thrown around the courtroom.—slogan on my favorite T-shirt

Since he’s planning times, it would not be truly spontaneous.

… But he could do something “out of the ordinary” (“unpredictable”) – that would probably do.

I was told that once, a long time ago. But when I tried spontaneous, I was told “You should have told me first!” So when I asked, “Oh, you mean planned spontaneity with advance notice,” we broke up.

When she’s washing her hair in the shower…..

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Ouch

Big brain time right here.

Get yourself a “Day-Timer” and put “spontaneity” on the cover to show her you’re sincere!

Do one spontaneous thing: break up with her. Then, find someone who doesn’t keep criticizing you for the qualities about you they want to change.

11:59 pm on February 29 th.

1:00 AM on June 31st

The people who have told me I should be more spontaneous are the ones who’ve been the most upset when I subsequently did something spontaneously.

3:14 is the perfect time for pie..and it happens TWICE a day :D

Just make sure you are spontaneous in the RIGHT way, about the RIGHT things, for the RIGHT reasons… blah blah blah. Yes, it’s a sore point.

4:20

NOW!

When she least expects it.

Now!

Try the second Tuesday of next week, Pig.

Yes.

Between 2358 and 0001 . Three minutes while the the rest of the house is sleeping.

3:00 A.M. but I assure you she won’t have the same spontaneousness that you plan.

Is this the real story of how Pig got stuck with (ugh!) Pigita?

Un-die Sweet Fanny!

Look up spontaneous in the dictionary, Pig.

Reminds me of Jules Feiffer’s “Why can’t I be a nonconformist like everyone else?”
