A man with a pig gig

On the way into work this morning, I passed a truck with a sign advertising Mike Sullivan Wildlife Services, a member of the National Wildlife Control Operators Association. (Hey, Mike Sullivan, I noticed your sign! Your advertising money is well-spent.)

Mike Sullivan's sign says he does trappings and removals of a number of species, including (but not limited to) oppossums, raccoons and feral hogs.

Yes, feral hogs.

Is that a major problem around here? Is that a major problem anywhere? I mean, I know there was the (in)famous Hogzilla a couple of years ago. ... I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing, but apparently, there's an underground invasion of wild-eyed feral hogs.

[Go ahead and wince; the next line is horribly punny...] Guess we should be on the lookout for a close encounter of the absurd swine.

Oh come on, I know you giggled.

Is a close encounter of the absurd swine something to go hog wild about?

Tip your waitresses.

I admit, I giggled. The girl next to me asked what is so funny, and I showed her, and now we have extra homework. Totally worth it.

Don't all feral hogs caught in Memphis automatically become barbeque? Even the rabid ones? Especially the rabid ones (that make their own sauce)?
