Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for June 21, 2008

I’m laughing because it’s funny. I’m crying because it’s probably true.

This reminds me of something I once heard on NPR, I think it was on Prarie Home Companion - something about a woman scientist who falls in love with a genetically-altered talking pig.

The bigger the pig, the harder it is for the average guy to compete.

Maybe the pig makes her happy. If you really love the woman, be happy that she’s happy.

I used to date that pig; he’s a heartbreaker.

I don’t know how this love triangle will play out, but I smell bacon.

If a pig ever stole the love of my life, I’d at least try to win her back. I wouldn’t just take a leisurely walk in the rain.

I like to think that right after the pig stole her, he saw through her pattern of disloyalty in all her relationships and preemptively dumped her.

Maybe the man should hook up with a nice big sow. One with an extra curly tail and long, sagging teats.

lol.

The allure of the truffle can be quite intoxicating.
