Carole: Pigs the world over have been excited to be involved in the porcine fetal tissue research and actual fetal tissue transplants. They are unanimous in their thinking that "We regret having only a few fetal cells to give for the benefit or mankind. They are noble creatures, intelligent beyond compare, and make excellent pets. Now, I was going to save this bit of news until Sunday's View from the Lighter Side Weekly Chronicle, but I just can't keep this to myself. Sty-King, which as you know was started by Chubby Labarre to enhance the image of the pig, , is sponsoring a special occupational program for the pigs called "Porker Putters". Now, Porker Putters is an opportunity for any pig in Parkinsaw to learn the rudiments of becoming a caddy for the Parkinsaw Golf and Tennis Club. They will be taught to carry club bags, bring the correct club to the golfer based on a silent whistle code, and especially to root out lost golf balls. There's even a new invention on the drawing board, kind of a porker side car, which attaches to a golf cart, for the pig-caddy to ride in, should the golfer just need assistance in finding lost balls. The pigs are all excited about this opportunity, and look forward to the training program. As you know, many Parkinsaw pigs, i.e.those porkers born and raised there, are skilled in providing assistance to severly disabled Parkinsonians, performing such tasks as fetching the TV remote, brewskies, and reading glasses. Some pigs have been trained to help patients roll-over in bed. (They just give them a friendly shove with their snouts). Of course, the Parcel Pigs will be featured in the Parka-Thon Celebration. Incidently, Levolager is a fine-tasting local beer featured at the Parkinsaw microbrewery, The Northern Lights. More details on these developments will appear in Sunday's Chronicle.
