True funny story

Featured Replies

When I was a little boy in Kentucky back in the 1950s I had an uncle that always had to have the latest and greatest gadgets.  He bought the first car anyone had seen in those parts with air conditioning which he kept on just about as cold as it would go.

One hot summer day I was going somewhere with him when he saw a local farmer walking down the road.  Uncle John stopped and gave him a ride to his farm.  It was surely the first time the old farmer had ever been in an air conditioned car.

"What are you going to do today, Dee?" Uncle John asked.

"I don't know, John William.  I was going to hoe corn, but it's turned off so cold I think I'll kill hogs."

Farmers used to have to wait for cold weather to slaughter hogs because they had no way to preserve the meat until it was cured.

Haha, I got it. We still kill around 12 hogs every year, after Christmas, New Years, and in March.

Guaranteed you are city born and raised.

Born and raised in Florida.  No cold temps here but plenty of hogs.
