around the idols neck to be
cooked by the altar fire at the
idols base. They expected the
idol to eat the pig.
But the idol was so tall that
piggy was smoked instead of
being roasted. He became the
first smoked ham and bacon on
record.
AS the idol failed to eat him,
the priests decided to eat him
themselves in the dead of night
and to tell the tribe that the
idol had done it. Never HAVING
tasted meat, they approached the
task with misgivines., But he
tasted so delicious that the Chief
Priest stated that "veeetarianism
was the bunk"
Next morning they told the peo.
pie that the idol had commanded
that the entire tribe eat meat
henceforth. So the Cro.Maenons
began to domesticate the pigs who
became the ancestors of our pres.
ent-day porkers.
