THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE. BUT I DON'T DO THEM BECAUSE I'M AFRAID WHAT OTHERS WILL THINK.
THAT'S SMART. BECAUSE AT THE END OF YOUR LIFE, YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE TO GET THE 'LIFE APPROVED BY EVERYONE AROUND YOU' AWARD.
OH. WAIT. THAT DOESN'T EXIST.
WELL, THIS IS NEWS.
CONSIDER YOURSELF WOKE.

MY TEAM IS DOWN IN THE NINTH INNING.
WELL LIKE THEY SAY, IT AIN'T OVER 'TIL THE FAT LADY SINGS.
RRRRR RRRRRRRRAAAA

WHAP
HUMOR APPROVED BY THE WORD POLICE

I THINK SOMEONE'S AT THE DOOR.
YEAH... IT'S MY FRIEND, 'TOO CLOSE'.
WHY'S HE CALLED THAT?
HE'S ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT JUST STANDS A BIT TOO CLOSE WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TO HIM.
I'M UNCOMFORTABLE.

HOW DO YOU STAY SO HAPPY ALL THE TIME, PIG?
MY HAPPINESS BEGAN ON THE DAY I STARTED ASKING MYSELF, WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO IMPRESS?
AND THAT DID IT?
YES.
BECAUSE I DON'T IMPRESS ANYONE!
THERE'S COMFORT IN PATHETICNESS.
CAN'T TOUCH ME, LIFE!

DO YOU THINK YOU TEND TO BURN YOUR BRIDGES WITH PEOPLE YOU'VE KNOWN AND JOBS YOU'VE HAD?
DEFINITELY.
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?
FLAME-O McGIBBONS. HE FOLLOWS ME EVERYWHERE.

LEAVE NO RELATIONSHIP INTACT!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, PIG?
I'M TAKING A CONFLICTS COURSE... IT TEACHES YOU HOW TO DEAL WITH OTHER PEOPLE. HERE. TAKE THE QUIZ WITH ME.
You disagree with someone. The best approach is:
(A) Persuade them otherwise.
(B) Try to understand them.
(C) Agree to disagree.
(D) Punch them in the head.
THAT ONE WAS EASY.

AND SO, YOU'D CALL FOR ONE, AND SOMETIMES THEY'D SHOW UP, AND SOMETIMES THEY WOULDN'T. YOU COULDN'T TRACK THEM. AND EVEN IF THEY DID SHOW UP THEY OFTEN SMELLED AND THE COST WAS ALWAYS A SURPRISE.
AND WHAT DID YOU CALL THESE THINGS AGAIN?
TAXI CABS.
PARDON ME SIR, BUT YOU HAD THE MOST HEINOUS UPBRINGING EVER.
WE DIDN'T HAVE $#%*&@ SMARTPHONES!!
