I saw this news story yesterday and it got me thinking.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Officials said a wild hog attacked a woman in the back yard of her home. St. Petersburg Fire & Rescue reported that a 26-year-old woman was told there was a pig in her back yard Monday afternoon. When she went outside to investigate, the 200-pound animal charged her, cutting the back of her left leg.
Rescuers were able to treat the woman for her injury at the scene. An animal control officer lassoed the hog and transported it to the Pinellas County Animal Control Office for rabies testing.
What I thought was this couldn’t have been a Real Southern Woman. She must have been from New York visiting her retired Mama or something.
I mean the sight of some dam wild pig rooting thru the garden in their back yard would have sent most Real Southern Women in to (at least) a major fit. About all you would have heard was a muttered “Bless his little heart†as they came off the porch to run the lil sumbitch off.
I know my great grandmother would have been after him with a broom handle-that poor pig wouldn’t have had a chance. Hell many would have grabbed the rifle they got for their 5th wedding anniversary and turned that sucker into dinner. Yep Bubba would have come home to find ribs on the grill and ham in the smoker.
Nope no way this was a born and bred true Southern Woman. She must have come from Vermont or some place where about as close they get to wild pig is a sale on Jimmy Dean Sausage down at Kroger’s.
Now in that poor girls defense, it say’s they took the pig in to be tested for rabies. Pigs are tough-I doubt some poor ole Yankee girl was able to infect him. In fact I bet the only testing was what kind BBQ sauce would be used to celebrate his demise.
Oh for you that don’t understand the phrase “ Bless your (or his) little heart†it is Southern Woman talk meaning you done screwed up big time. It is usually said just before a Southern Woman does violence-
