My grandfather Luke saved a runt pig and raised it as a family pet named George. Luke would take George to the local bar and get him so drunk on beer that Luke and his friends had to drive it home on the back of a flatbed truck.

​

One morning my mom and her siblings were looking for George and asked their father where he was. Laughing Luke asked, "Did you enjoy the ham you had with your eggs this morning?"

​

My grandfather fed his best friend to his family.
