I was advised by my sypervisor who was American not to teach the kids the word “pig” as an example of letter”P”!!

I was shocked and asked her why!! She was like ” You know muslims prohibit pigs,”!!

“I know it’s forbidden to eat it but not to mention it, they will know this word and this animal eventually”!!

I have always thought of this issue “being blackened” also on magazines and newspapers!! As if blacking it will prevent people from seeing such stuff!!

Can this big tattooed bruiser volunteer to help hold down the religious police?? At six foot 2 and 225 pounds I think I can fit the bill.

Maybe we can do a Western style marathon and get donations for each one we shave. All donations going to women’s rights groups and religious tolerance groups.
