Many people confuse the improbable with the impossible.
While it may certainly be unlikely for a pig to sprout wings and take to the air, it is not impossible for one to enjoy air travel, as I learned in a news report filed last October. A Knight Ridder account published in The Washington Post told of a 300-pound pig which flew first class from Philadelphia to Seattle aboard a US Airways jet. Two women accompanied the plucky porker, who reportedly slept during most of the trip. But, apparently the pig got the jitters as the plane began its descent. After the plane touched down, the nervous pig bolted down the aisle and made a break for the cockpit.
