WINNIPEG, Canada - A minivan driver was able to avoid two decomposing pig carcasses that came flying at him after falling from a recycling truck, but he wasn't able to duck a shower of liquefied animal manure.

Ernie Zacharias was driving along a Winnipeg boulevard with his family Tuesday when the pigs came at him. They had fallen off a Rothsay Recycling truck that braked quickly at a red light.

Well, everyone had to keep saying "Traficant'll be thrown out when pigs fly..." It was bound to happen sooner or later.

LOL! Hey it could have been worse. Imagine if he had been driving a nice, shiny new convertible on his first date with a hot chick.

Your hometown made the headlines.

The hot, humid weather is causing excess pig casualties on hog farms and faster decomposition. Rothsay Recycling has had to deal with not only bigger loads, but rotting ones, he said.

"What, and give up show business?"

I'm laughing so hard it hurts!

[Zeroisanumber]

Heh.

[Khepera]

Where is the picture? Gotta have a picture!

[Alouette]

Hey, can we send those pig guts to Israel? The IDF, or rather IAF can carpet-bomb Gaza.

"Rothsay Recycling is the only rendering plant in the province. It transports dead stock from 6,600 Manitoba farms "

Up in the Shennendoah country the farmers just tie a chain around the dead cow's ankles, drag it into a remote area and let the buzzards feast.

Might want to watch out for turkeys as well...one of our local talk radio hosts got hit in the head by a flying wild turkey while on his way to the station on his motorcycle today. He's okay, but was seriously cursing the turkey.

the carcasses were decomposing and were more "slippery" than usual.

Ugh..........

"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!"

Something is definitely going on. The Muslims are trying to kill us, the stock market is crashing, whole states are on fire. We got plagues of locusts, smallpox is back, yesterday they said an asteroid is going to hit the Earth and take out a whole continent. And now we got flying pigs.

I think I figured out the problem with Bush. He's the unluckiest man alive.

Hold Ma Beer and duck that flying pig!
