Pigs


My uncle is a wheat farmer in Manitoba, Canada.


His farm is big; like the size of Luxembourg big!


The last time I visited, I followed him around as he fed his assorted animals: cats, cows, chickens…


Every Spring his next door neighbour, who lives about as far away as Belgium, gives him 2 piglets. In the Fall my uncle butchers them.


As he put in their feed, I noticed one of the pigs was a lot bigger than the other one. The big one pushed the smaller one out of the way and ate most of the food.


“Do your pigs have names?” I asked.
Ham and Bacon” he answered.
“Which one are you going to kill first?” I inquired.
The biggest one” he replied.


Moral of the story: Don’t be a Pig.

note: If I were a pig, I’d want to be anorexic or bulimic.
