"I'm Pro-PIG!"

Yesterday went out to lunch with some of my colleagues, 90% of whom know that I do something called "kosher."

So, we're at the table and I see a salad that looks fine, save for the fact that it comes with bacon. I tell the waitress, "no bacon, please." Then she, or someone else, I don't remember, says, "what's wrong with bacon? You have something against it?"

One or two other people join in.

At first, I'm defensive. "No, of course not. I have nothing philosophically against the pig. I just don't want the bacon."

Then, it dawns on me. "Hey, wait a minute, I'm the only person at this table who won't eat pig, you guys are anti-pig. I'm the one who's pro-pig!!"
