A Florida man on a hunting trip accidentally shot his girlfriend in the leg when he mistook her for a hog.
When she woke up, I wonder how that conversation went.
“What happened? Did you shoot me?”
“Baby, I promise it was an accident; from a distance you looked just like a hog.”
“Can I hold your gun for a second?”
This might be the perfect opportunity for him to challenge her requirement of complete honesty in the relationship. When he tells her the truth instead of lying and saying he mistook her for an armed supermodel, she’ll hold it over his head for the rest of his life, giving him all the permission he needs to lie in the future.
Some other things he might want to consider lying about:
If the doctors weren’t able to save her leg because of the critical hour they lost when he accidentally called a veterinarian instead of a doctor.
If he still continued hunting that hog before he called a doctor.
Here are some things friends and family might think are funny to say when they visit this poor woman in the hospital, but I assure you she won’t laugh:
What’s shakin’ bacon?
I was so nervous waiting to hear if you’d pull through. The whole time I was sweating like a pig.
Did you know hogs are one of the most intelligent animals? Hogs and elephants.
I bet after all this hospital food, you’re looking forward to going home and pigging out.
My favorite Charlie Brown character was always Pig-Pen.
So are you going to break up with him? Before you make any sudden decisions remember with your injury you won’t be able to work for a while and will have to rely on him to bring home the bacon.
The cops say unless you press charges against him their hands are hog-tied.
I heard he also shot his ex-girlfriend–when he mistook her for a unicorn.

Surely she’s sty-mied by the situation.

What is up with all the wild pigs! I hear they are over-running Michigan, parts of California and now Texas!

These porcine antics are actually a bit boaring…however, after reading the actual story I was able to learn an important life lesson “…never shoot what you don’t see…” That sage advice is more valuable than a pork belly futures contract.

I try to never shoot in the first place, which I hope will prevent me from ever shooting anyone on accident.

It must be a piggy frenzy. Hilarious post. (loved the unicorn)

Accident or not, you don’t want to date a guy who would shoot a unicorn.

I’ve seen plenty of women where I live who could easily be mistaken for feral hogs. And they all seem to shop at the local Wal-Mart.

nothing says I love you like piercing your flesh with a bullet…If I had a gun, I would love my husband a lot!

Her first clue as to his opinion of her should have been his pick up line . . . when he saw her across a crowded room and proclaimed, “Woo Pig Sooie!!!”

I wouldn’t feel too bad for this woman. If she was hurt that bad she wouldn’t have time to be hogging all the headlines. Funny post!

A cow flew into my dad’s windshield years ago and I am still trying to find ways to make fun of it. I could use your play on word skills

The delivery boy stopped at the nurses station with the flowers the boyfriend sent her, “I have a delivery for Miss Piggy – Room 513”.

Maybe he worried about her getting boar-ed and was trying to jazz up the date?

Usually when people talk about adding insult to injury, they don’t mean it quite so literally.
I hope she doesn’t catch Swine Flu while she’s in the hospital.

This woman’s life is ruined, but it’s worth it to provide such outstanding material for hosts on nighttime TV, The Soup, and humor writers. I would say I hope she wasn’t shot in the hamstring, but I don’t want to add to all the mayham.

Priceless. I was too baffled by this story to post anything. I really enjoyed your take!

Her family wanted her to break up with him, but she was too pig-headed to listen.

I was just going to say I thought unicorn was the other white meat.
But I guess it must be what’s for dinner.

Sweet! Just noticed. You have WordAds! I haven’t seen them much yet and wondered if I might be blogstracized for selling out.

Nah, Angie. We won’t blogstracize you. We will simply charge all of our purchases to your account.

It’s a deal, Elyse. This is how I should’ve avoided being ostracized in junior high — just pay people off to make no mention of the fact that I didn’t need a bra yet.

I preferred “mosquito bites that haven’t healed”. I love that I’ve hijacked GG’s post to talk boobs.
Elyse
April 29, 2012
Perhaps we should make a habit of it! Boobs! Boobs! (They usually come in pairs.)
Angie Z.
April 29, 2012
Yes, good idea. And actually, going from advertising to boobs is not a big stretch.
Elyse
April 29, 2012
Isn’t it mandatory to use boobs in advertising?
Angie Z.
April 29, 2012
Indeed it is.

I had considered telling WordPress that I preferred boob-related advertising, but I wasn’t sure whether it would appeal to my demographic. Your level of interest has caused me to reconsider.

Boobs are always in season.

Sounds like a fun date.
I was amazed at the position the cops took on the whole thing:
“He was very sympathetic that he’d shot his girlfriend,” Maj. Clair said. “It was an accident. I think it was just a violation of one of the cardinal rules of hunting which is you never shoot what you don’t see.”
Never shoot what you don’t see?

And nobody believes me when I say that folks with guns are stupid. And the fact that this guy admitted aloud that he mistook his girlfriend for a pig proves it again.
