AFTER A LOT OF THOUGHT, I THINK I’VE FIGURED OUT SOMETHING.
THAT THE POINT OF LIFE IS LEARNING THAT THERE IS NO “I”.
THAT WE ARE ALL PART OF ONE WHOLE.
THUS, THE GOLDEN RULE – ‘DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU’. BECAUSE TO HARM OTHERS IS TO HARM YOURSELF.
AND THAT’S THE GOAL. TO HAVE THAT UNDERSTANDING. THAT THERE IS NO “I”. THAT WE, ALL OF US, ARE ONE.
YOU ATE TWO OF MY PEANUTS.
I THINK YOU’RE MISSING MY POINT.
I’M MISSING YOUR @#%*%#@ PEANUTS.

HEY, PIG... I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU, BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE OFFENSE.
I WOULD NEVER DO THAT WITHOUT ASKING.
ASKING WHAT?
IF I COULD TAKE YOUR FENCE OR ANYONE ELSE'S.
LET'S START OVER.
LET'S. BECAUSE SO FAR, IT'S BEEN VERY OFFENSIVE.

WHATCHA DOING, RAT?
I'M ON HOLD WITH AN AIRLINE AND A RECORDED VOICE IS APOLOGIZING FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND TELLING ME THEY APPRECIATE MY BUSINESS.
WHICH IS NICE TO HEAR BUT BECOMES... SHEER MOCKERY WHEN YOU'VE HEARD IT THIRTY-ONE TIMES IN A ROW!!!
MAYBE THEY REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS.
THEY SHOULD JUST SAY: YOU'RE SCREWED AND IT AMUSES US.

NONE OF MY TWEETS ARE GOING OUT TODAY.
YEAH. RAT WENT HUNTING.
SO?
HE SHOT THE TWITTER BIRD.
HE WAS MUCH TOO CHATTY.

HEY, RAT, THERE'S A GROUP OF PEOPLE AT OUR DOOR WHO'D LIKE TO RENT OUR SPARE BEDROOM.
WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?
EAGER. PLUS, THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME TASTE IN CLOTHES AND SEEM LIKE A CLOSE-KNIT GROUP.
IT'S ALL YOURS.
GREAT. GOT ANY SPARE GUNS?

WHAT DO YOU HAVE THERE, RAT?
THE GUN FROM A TANK.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH IT?
I'M INSTALLING IT ON THE HOOD OF MY CAR.
SLOW DRIVERS BOTHER ME.
I'M CALLING THE POLICE.
SAY GOODBYE TO THE PRIUS.

HOW YOU DOING, NEIGHBOR NANCY?

JUST GOT BACK FROM A LONG TRIP. NOW I'M CARRYING A FEW EXTRA POUNDS.

YOU DON'T LOOK VERY FAT.

BRITISH POUNDS. I FORGOT TO EXCHANGE THEM.

THAT COULD HAVE GONE BETTER.

LISTEN, KIM, IT HAS BEEN NICE MEETING YOU ON TINDER, BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN DATE YOU. FOR ONE THING, I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY LOVERS YOU HAD BEFORE ME.
FIFTEEN!
SERIOUSLY? IS THAT THE REAL NUMBER?
THIRTY!
THIRTY? THAT'S RIDICULOUS! WERE THEY JUST ONE-NIGHT FLINGS OR DID YOU ACTUALLY LOVE ANY OF THEM?
LOVE!
YEAH, RIGHT... YOU MUST THINK I'M SOME KIND OF IDIOT. SOME RUBE YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.
ADVANTAGE!
ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, STOP SHOUTING. YOU JUST SHOOK THE WHOLE COUNTER... UNLESS THAT WAS AN EARTHQUAKE... WE DO LIVE ON A --
FAULT!
YOU'RE A --
TENNIS UMPIRE.
HEY, CAN I BORROW A --

READ BOOKS.

CHECK OUT MY EAR GAUGES. I GRADUALLY STRETCHED OUT MY EAR LOBES UNTIL THEY COULD FIT THESE HUGE HOOPS THAT MAKE ME LOOK LIKE AN INDIVIDUALISTIC REBEL.
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE DO THAT.
MINE COME WITH DOLPHINS.

I HARDLY THINK THAT CUP COULD HOLD ERIC CLAPTON, JACK BRUCE AND GINGER BAKER.
DOES IT HURT YOU WHEN THEY CRINGE AND WALK AWAY?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
PLAYING WITH MY TRAIN SET.
I THINK THE GUY ON THE TRAIN PLATFORM FELL OVER.
YEAH. HE TRIPPED ON A SMALL CRACK.
UH-OH... HERE COMES LARRY LAWYER. HE'S GONNA SUE THE TRAIN COMPANY, THE STATION OWNER, AND THE CITY.
LARRY WINS!! THE TRAIN COMPANY GOES OUT OF BUSINESS! THE STATION SHUTS DOWN!
THE CITY GOES BANKRUPT! ALL THE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR JOBS!
LARRY WENT TO LAW SCHOOL TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
HOW'D THAT WORK OUT?
GREAT. HE GOT ALL THE MONEY.

HEY, PIG, HOW'S YOUR SATURDAY GOING?

GOAT SAYS YOU HAD SURGERY TO REMOVE THE FILTER BETWEEN YOUR BRAIN AND YOUR MOUTH.
YES. A FILTERECTOMY.
HAS ANYONE ELSE EVER HAD THE SURGERY?
JUST ONE GUY. BUT HE ASKED ME NOT TO TELL ANYONE.
THERE WAS BLOOD COMING OUT OF HER EYES... BLOOD COMING OUT OF HER... WHEREVER.
EWWW.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD SURGERY, RAT?
JUST ONCE. I HAD A FILTERECTOMY.
WHAT'S THAT?
IT'S WHERE THEY REMOVE THE FILTER BETWEEN YOUR BRAIN AND YOUR MOUTH.
AND NOW I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING.
IF IT POPS IN HERE, IT POPS OUT OF HERE.

CAN I HELP YOU?
HELLO, MA'AM. I'M RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT AND I'D LIKE YOUR VOTE.
I'M NOT BIG ON VOTING.
DO YOU LIKE GOING TO THE MOVIES?
YEAH. WHY?
BECAUSE VOTING IS LIKE GOING TO THE MOVIES. YOU SUSPEND YOUR DISBELIEF AND HOPE WHAT COMES NEXT DOESN'T SUCK.
YOU'RE REALLY NOT HELPING.
OH, AND THEY'RE BOTH FILLED WITH RIDICULOUS FANTASY.
