Some inmates in Vermont slipped a lil’ piggy into the state seal. Can you see it below:
Look at the cow on the right. And then look at the spots. You see Porky now?
Inmates working at a Vermont correctional unit’s print shop managed to sneak a prank image of a pig into a state policecrest that is emblazoned on police cars, and 30 cruisers sported the design for the last year, officials said on Thursday.
The official crest depicts a spotted cow against a background of snowy mountains, but the inmates’ version featured one of the cow’s spots shaped like a pig in an apparent reference to the pejorative word for police, state police spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro said.
The second half of our two-fer is shrimps. Giant shrimps. Delicious giant shrimps:
British scientists made the remarkable discovery by accident while participating in a joint expedition with New Zealand scientists to probe the depths of the Kermadec Trench, north of New Zealand.
Using a large metal trap outfitted with cameras, they’d hoped to haul up a species of deep-sea snailfish that had not been captured in more than 60 years. Instead they hauled up, from nearly 33,000 feet below, seven milky-white amphipods measuring to about 11 inches, or the size of small lobsters.
Shrimp casserole, fried shrimp, boiled shrimp, popcorn shrimp, shrimp scampi. . .


I thought those inmates were pretty clever…. It’s all about attention to detail
While they are re-doing the police emblem, they should think about a whole new design.
LOL, THAT gets an A for effort and ingenuity
What are those 3 things on the other side of the tree?
Saw this on another forum, and a comment there was “Well, that’s one way to get the islamofascists out of Vermont.” Heh.
CI Roller: I am glad that you, as a policeman, can see the humor.
Lou: I agree.
Old NFO: They are like crafty E-4s.
Sam: Potatoes?
Rosalind: True, that is one way. . .
I too found the pigs story more amusing than offending. It has a certain charm to it.
