"The FDA approved the use of pig lips on human bodies."
Huh.
I didn't know if it was just a random thought or left over from a dream.
It got me wondering.
Do pigs even have lips?
I Googled it.
Why, yes, yes they do.
Huh.
This is what I learned. Not only do pigs have lips, but people EAT them.
You heard me.
Of course, they pickle them first. Is this something my friend Gail, At The Farm, does?
I wonder.

*I just threw up in my mouth a little*
I also realized that, duh, of COURSE pigs have lips! How could you "put lipstick on a pig" otherwise?
According to Wikipedia, "putting lipstick on a pig" is a rhetorical expression, used to convey the message that making superficial or cosmetic changes is a futile attempt to disguise the true nature of a product.
(Remember Presidential hopeful Senator Obama and his comment about McCain/Palin?)
But truthfully, I don't think my "pig lips" thought was really all that deep.
I was probably just having a hankering for a DIFFERENT part of the pig.
His ribs.

Okay, i just *have* to comment on this one. My daughters' middle school had some kind of contest a number of years ago, and if the students did something or sold so many of something, the principal and the vice-principal would Kiss a Pig!
Well!!! You *know* the kids stood up to their end of the deal; they really *wanted* to see THIS embarrassing event.
So, the principals had to "do their duty". Somebody brought a HOG to the school; the principal (a female) and the vice-principal (a male) put lipstick on and honestly Kissed that Hog! The lipstick was so *nobody* could say "You didn't really kiss him!" The lipstick left its mark to prove it!
It was HILARIOUS!!! The kids really loved it too.
But i'm kinda like you.
The only part of a pig i want close to me is
BACON!!!
