Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 04, 2012
Transcript:
Goat: Hey, Rat... You want half this sandwich? I can't eat all of it. Rat: I can't eat that. There are sprouts on it. Goat: What's wrong with sprouts? Rat: Nobody likes sprouts. That's how they got their name. Goat: 'Sports'? Rat: Something People Ruin Our Usually Tasty Sandwiches with. Goat: Of course. Rat: Want to know what broccoli stands for?
I’m guessing that by “sprouts” we are talking about bean sprouts as opposed to Brussels sprouts. I like them both, but nobody would put Brussels sprouts in a sandwich, would they?
