Two die in Hungarian pig shock horror

BUDAPEST (Reuters) - The annual pre-Christmas swine slaughter in a southwestern Hungarian village came to a shocking end after one man died of electrocution while trying to stun a pig, whose owner then died of heart attack.

Celebrations at the pig-killing party in Darvaspuszta took a turn for the worse on Saturday when an unnamed visiting Croatian man shocked himself to death while trying to knock out a pig with a homemade electric pig stunner, national news agency MTI said

A local man ended up in hospital with an irregular heart rhythm after attempting a rescue by trying to unplug the device.

The shocking accident so upset the pig's owner, he suffered a heart attack and died.

There was no word on the fate of the pig.

You can't make this stuff up!

[MediaMole]

He should have stuck to cow tipping.

[dighton]

Oh dear.

"Shock horror" is a staple of UK tabloid headlines. Now someone's gone and used it literally.

Yes, it's swinish of me to find this funny.

[aomagrat]

Back home, we just shot them.

[Mark]

What? No PETA commentary?

About frost time in northern New York we did butcher pigs. Ate them part and parcel starting soon thereafter.

"I screwed up...I trusted him to stay around...."

[Cleburne]

I nearly ran over a pig in the middle of the road yesterday. Stupid oinker was in the ditch, and as I approached, it ran to the middle of the road and stood there staring at my car. Almost got some high quality chittlins.

A Darwin Award nominee if I ever heard of one.

Actually, she was clipping its needle teeth. But, I figured I'd hear from the moose and cheese crowd.

[Fraulein]

Anyone heard from ZaDomSpermi lately?

[spectr17]

I'm sure the pigs next in line for the jolt are crying a river over that guys demise.

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

Shouldn't this be posted under Humour?

[BansheeBill]

From todays web issue of the Independent Online (South Africa)... a news story ( and no, it was not in their humour section):

'My fiance was a worse pig than this'

November 25 2001 at 09:05PM

London - A British woman has exchanged her fiance for a pig and is satisfied with the swap, the Sunday People reported.

Marion Eastwood, 43, made the change after her fiance walked out on her just hours before their wedding.

Eastwood, who owns an animal sanctuary in East Peckham, Kent, said Rachel the pig began following her everywhere "as if she realised something was wrong".

One night she got into bed and Rachel got in as well, the report said.

The paper quoted Eastwood as saying she would not swap Rachel for a man: "Living with a pig is so much better - more women should try it... she may only communicate with a grunt - but even that's more than you get from most men." - Sapa-DPA

New a guy down in SC that had a BBQ joint and was also a carpenter.He would walk into the pen with his hammer, knock the pig out, then cut the jugular,said there was no sence in wasting bullets.

[Orual]

'I'm afraid your father was very seriously hurt indeed.'

'Oh.'

'In fact, Jerome, he died yesterday. Quite without pain.'

'Did they shoot him through the heart?'

'I beg your pardon. What did you say, Jerome?'

'Did they shoot him through the heart?'

'Nobody shot him, Jerome. A pig fell on him.' An inexplicable convulsion took place in the nerves of Mr Wordsworth's face; it really looked for a moment as though he were going to laugh. He closed his eyes, composed his features and said rapidly as though it were necessary to expel the story as rapidly as possible. 'Your father was walking along a street in Naples when a pig fell on him. A shocking accident. Apparently in the poorer quarters of Naples they keep pigs on their balconies. This one was on the fifth floor. It had grown too fat. The balcony broke. The pig fell on your father.'

Mr Wordsworth left his desk rapidly and went to the window, turning his back on Jerome. He shook a little with emotion.

Jerome said, 'What happened to the pig?'

A Shocking Accident from...

[dighton]

Hmmm, Naples in Greeneland. Great passage.

Gwyn Griffin (another G.G.) might have written that scene in A Last Lamp Burning. It's set in Naples, and deserves far better than Mr. Khan's two stars.

[Orual]

Apparently, more than good literature comes from the slums of Naples.

[Rebelbase]

Oink.

"Was your sister eating Cheese at the time?"

No realli! She was Karving her initials on a møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink".

The pig tøøk offense .. must have been a PETA pig.

[riley1992]

[Rebelbase]

Never seen a male pig with a B cup before.

[Bigg Red]

Could you say that again in pig Latin please?

[boris]

This brings to mind two stories I read in the Baltimore Sun when I was a kid. The first had the headline, "Man Pushes Button and Dog's Lights Go Out." The story: in a rainstorm, a man walking his dog pressed a button to cross the street. A short circuit occurred and caused the dog to be electrocuted. The article said he bit his master and died. Apparently the man suffered only the dog bite.

========================

The second story was entitled, "Tipsy Elephant Goes Berserk; Electrocutes Five."

A marriage procession in India. Several revelers were riding on the back of an elephant and were giving it wine. Elephants are notoriously unable to hold their liquor. The drunken elephant went crazy and attacked a pole carrying high-tension electric lines. One of the lines fell across its back, electrocuting the revelers.

I thought the headline admirable.
