Pigs are sprouting wings

A long time ago, a cynic once said that a black man would be president of the united states when pigs would begin to fly.

Guess what, within 100 days of Obama's term in office, SWINE FLU.

Get it?

Why should I care if a black man is president of US?

Hi Sir Shaunak, in Singapore they stopped calling then swine flu but Its now know as H1N1. How is India so far any suspect cases? There are 3 here.

It seems the market of pigs and pork meat is collapsing here. It happened before with chickens and the aviary flu and cows with the mad cow disease.

They are calling it H1N1 here too. 5 suspects so far.

The ham market has crashed.

But one mans loss is another man's gain. Poultry prices have risen.

Israeli deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman said it should be called the Mexican flu because eating pork or swine is banned under Jewish dietary law. After the Mexican ambassador pitched a shit fit about it, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said Litzman was just kidding.....which, of course, made everything a-ok again.

Sheesh!

I had some pork barbecue just yesterday. I'll probably have the gout by tomorrow. awww
