Transcript:
Goat: Hey, Pig, where were you this morning? Pig: I had to go with Pigita to the doctor's office. She's having trouble drinking milk. Goat: What'd the doctor say? Pig: He said she hates people who are missing toes. Goat: The term is "lactose intolerant." Pig: Yeah. And to me, that's racist.

Good question, really don’t know. Have had run-ins a few times with really good friends who are SDA, need to ask them next time. Can’t today, because they won’t respond to phones calls, SMS or e-mails on a Saturday.

If she is lack-toes intolerant, she would hate pobbles, and that’s racist….if pobbles are a race.
Anyway Pig calls any sort of intolerance based on a physical characteristic “racist”… cos it’s easier to spell than “physical-characteristic-intolerant.”

Otto!
Um….bats, insects, camels…. probably not tasty, diseased animals, pretty disgusting…. and all banned…
Beef steak, chocolate, cheese ….all quite tasty and not banned.

No, Pig, that’s not racist; that’s paronomasia. (Be patient with him, Goat!)

If the doctor is intolerant of those who lack toes (like pigs), that is what makes him racist in pig’s eyes.

Jews and SDA observe kashrut from Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. The Muslim dhabiha halal is mostly similar (but a little less restrictive) and comes from a number of verses in the Qur’an.Both sets of dietary laws are extremely effective in preventing food-borne disease in a pre-refrigeration desert environment.Poor Pig is neither kosher nor halal.

This little piggy went to market; this little piggy stayed at home; . . . . . . .How do you play that game with someone who lacks toes?
Yammo Premium Member almost 13 years ago
HAHA! Only Stephan’s distorted brain could come up with that one… :-D

Maybe Pigita’s afraid of someone stepping on her hair and giving her toe-mane poisoning.
lin4869 almost 13 years ago
OMG! That’s hysterical!
bmonk almost 13 years ago
Pigita wouldn’t hate me, because I have mytosis.
I guess Pig would see someone who is lack-toes intolerant as racist, because he, like many other hooved animals, don’t have apparent toes.
Something is fishy about a person who is lack-toes intolerant.
burleigh2 almost 13 years ago
Yeah, that’s not racist, that’s disability-ist… or something… ;-)
