Two nuns and a hog drove their pickup truck into the alley behind the meat market. Now, this might sound like an opening line for a joke but it isn’t.

I was at the meat market the other day when two nuns drove their pickup truck into the alley behind the meat market. In the back was a hog that had been skinned, gutted and cut in half. A moment later, one of the guys from the meat market came out and grabbed the hog halves and hung them in the cooler.

Since this was an unusual sight even for Lowell, I had to ask the guy inside what that was all about. He said that the nuns bring their hogs over to the meat market and he grinds them up into sausage for the nuns for free. Then, with a sober look on his face, he added “I’d go straight to Hell if it didn’t.” And I really think he believes that.
