When Pigs Fly or Float or ..whatever
When 30 Thousand Pigs Fly ..er ...Float
If you were a reporter and someone called in a story that said 30 thousand pigs are floating by in the river, what would you do ? Well, the reporter for the Morning Bulletin went with the story and it made print ...and then of course it made a retraction and apology. It turns out, someone was really saying "30 sows and pigs" NOT 30 thousand pigs. The Morning Bulletin AND the Rural Weekly regret the error.
