Lightning Boy and the Pig Incident
Lightning Boy is living in the country but not on a farm so he decided that everyone that lives in the country has to have pigs. He doesn't have room on his property for a pen so he gets one of those Pot Bellied Pigs and lets it stay in the house. Bacon, yes he was original with the name, is his pampered pet and loved by him just like normal people do with dogs and cats. Bacon is spoiler and grows past the normal size to well over a couple hundred pounds.
He looked just like this
He leaves the screen door open for him to go in and out at his pleasure and to his defense Bacon his house broke. He's got a full size mattress on the floor in one of the rooms with pillow and blanket because, as we all know, you have to have a pillow and blanket for you pigs in the house.
One very hot summer day LB goes to town and doesn't get home until late at night. He gets up the next morning and find Bacon not in his bedroom but dead on the back porch. He had left the glass sliding door closed and Bacon most likely had a heat stroke and died.
As he tells me this story I am taking it for stride because NOTHING he tells you surprises you. Well that is . . . until he said "pig meat must go bad pretty quick because I could barely stand to eat any of it".
