OT: Too funny not to share...
My new guy, who shall remain nameless (Grant) had an interesting job,
when still going to school, working on a farm. He was part of a
castrating team on a pig farm one summer. He mentioned he wore ear-
muffs as that gets noisy.
With a dead-pan face he told me that "pigs don't feel pain, but squeel
because they don't like to be held."
That struck me as very funny
