Hmm - where can an octopus buy a mini pig ,,, very sureal

Is that a line from 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' - or the failed version 'Porky in the sky with apples' - yeah we all saw Paul M last night

Try buying a normal pig and chop its legs off at the knees, - or just cut out the middle man and buy one of those ham on the rolls entire.

Anyway Macassa - suspiciously - he didn't actually say he wanted a live one - spooky - maybe its one of those modern artists -
Invest in Formeldehyde
Buy up all the local glass fish tanks
Quick put the house prices up - i always knew having one celeb - little Pixie around would be the beginning of the end

There may be certain rules/regulations regarding keeping/rearing pigs in a non-farming situation.
They are quite good for clearing up human waste, be it food or excreta. Medieval villages always had pigs roaming around doing just that.

Remember Octopus, a mini pig isn't just for Christmas, it's for apple sauce. :D
