….Until a beautifully pleasant message came from the heavens saying “We’ll be there to repair your cable at exactly 3pm today, see you then.” And hope was found again. The end
Soviet Russia, 1985. Man goes to the local agency to ask for a repairman to fix his television. He is told he must wait until April 18th 1996. Morning or afternoon, he asks. Why, asks the aide. I have the plumber coming in the afternoon, he says.
We apologize for the delay in responding to your service request. We are having difficulties finding new service technicians to service your area.
It is not us, it is you. You taunt our service technicians by wrapping yourself in a blanket, or smearing apple butter and sunning yourself under the cable connections to the point they can smell that ummm ummm sweat bacon, and they fall off the ladder.
In the meantime, our insurance company has asked that we break up with you.

Pig has shown us that he has the ability to be a good writer. He just needed to find something that he cared deeply about.
