This story is from 2008, but we’d never seen it until it was emailed to us by Miles, the Editor’s tax guy:
A group of Muslims bought some land in Texas, but apparently never bothered to check out how the neighboring land was being used. That was an unfortunate lapse, because the land adjacent to the planned mosque was a pig farm.
The owner of the pig farm got pissed off when the Imam called him a liar at a local planning commission meeting. So instead of getting rid of his pigs he built a track and began training the porkers to race. Now he holds pig races each week during the mosque’s Friday night services.
The pig races are pretty funny on their own, but as far as we’re concerned, the highlight of the video clip is right at the beginning when Shep Smith tries to keep a straight face while his production crew cracks up in the background.
