It is my understanding that this new flu is a hybrid of swine and avian strains.

Therefore, I postulate that pigs can fly.

(Had to get that riff in there before Jon Stewart beat me to it. Oh, and shhhh… nobody tell Carlos Mencia).

I’ve isolated the virus.

THE TEUCHTER ABRIDGED BIBLE:

In the beginning was the word, and the word was God.

26 Then man said, “Let us make God in our image, in our likeness, and let him let us rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

27 So man created God in his own image,
in the image of man he created him;
male and female they created him.

Sure you’re not referring to a fly in the oinkment?

(I’m flu-shy, don’t bother me.)

I was going to post a pic of the po-lice kissing a pig to represent the passing of the swine flu virus, but I couldn’t find one… and now, after hearing that the Egyptian government is going to needlessly kill thousands of pigs in their country, I can’t help but wonder how many other people are thinking what I’m thinking… and what I’m thinking can be summed up in the form a the tune from Pink Floyd’s The Wall and it goes:
“Hey! Fuckwits, leave those pigs alone!”

Hey, WWJD?

See Mark 5:2-13

So everybody wash their little hands out there to prevent unclean spirits.
