Everyone needs a pig

Last weekend we were having breakfast at Jimmy's, a restaurant in a bowling alley, which has quite good food. Foxy had an omelet, and I had pancakes, eggs and bacon. The omelet was large and could not be finished. The waitress asked Foxy, "Do you want a box to take it home?" Foxy decided that leftover omelet was not wonderful and said, "No, but I hate to waste food." The waitress said, "Oh, it won't be wasted." I thought she would say something about giving left over food to the shelter. However she said, "We have a pig, and all leftovers are given to the pig, so nothing is wasted. Everyone needs a pig."

We thought about this pronouncement and decided that a pig might be good for a restaurant but not for folks like us who live in a motor home. What would we get? Maybe a pot bellied pig who would then have to be trained to climb up and down the entrance steps and get along with Max. I can see it now. No thanks! We do not need to emulate the Clampets of The Beverly Hillbillies fame. Happy travels.
