Piggy’s in the house

This has to be the second strangest item I’ve found while thrifting:

I got it during my lunch break when I stopped by the Opportunity Village thrift store. Best $1 I’ve spent in a while.

I figured my boss would get a kick of it, so I showed him when I got back to work. He mentioned that I needed to name it. I’ve been wracking my brain, but I finally thought of it: Piggy Smalls. Awful. Bloody awful. But isn’t that the point? I’m not sure where we’ll hang it, but I’ll post a photo once it finds a home.

And to answer any questions, the first strangest item was over 10 years ago at a junk store in Rockford: a bizarre seashell encrusted shrine with a glow in the dark crucifix featured in the center. I stupidly gave it away years ago. I definitely wish I still had it. It was one of those once in a lifetime finds.

• What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany’s at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No. I go for the chandelier; it’s priceless. As I’m taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It’s her father’s business. She’s Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico but I go to Canada. I don’t trust her. Besides, I love the cold. Thirty years later I get a postcard. I have a son. And he’s the Chief of Police. This is where the story gets interesting: I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She’s been waiting for me all these years. She’s never taken another lover. I don’t care. I don’t show up. I go to Berlin. That’s where I stashed the chandelier.

• I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.
