JEN: Bob the Pirate, what's the symbol for radius? BOB THE PIRATE: Aaaar! JEN: Really? What's the 18th letter of the alphabet? Conjugate "to be" for "they". What's the 1st person plural possessive pronoun? BOB THE PIRATE: Aaar! Aaar! Aaar! NARRATOR: Man. He could've added so much to the strip. (sigh) We'll miss ya, Bob...

JOHNNY: You know, my sociology class has really gotten me to start questioning our society! BEN: Yeah? How so? JOHNNY: Well, like, when we say: "All men are created equal."

Now I'm only 44 years away from my full Social Security benefits! BEN: NO! No! LOOK, you're 21! JOHNNY: SO... you mean... if I were a woman, my sexual peak would be in 14 years? BEN: NO! Aaa! You're like some big ball of RANDOM!

JOHNNY: At MY house, we have a family tradition where the youngest child dresses like a TURKEY and runs around outside letting the neighbors pelt him with ROTTEN FRUIT FRUIT. WHAT FUN!
