A Potbellied Pig Went on Tinder to Find a Date
Pair with Celebration by Kool & The Gang
A potbellied pig went on Tinder to find a date. She came upon a hog by the name of Craving4Kevin who looked hung and swiped right. Kevin did the same, and when he asked if she was into pilates and compost snouting the pig knew he was the one. They agreed to meet on a Friday where Kevin had been invited to a fancy cocktail party at a mansion on Grand Avenue in Pasadena, and she could come as his plus one. The pig splurged on herself and arrived fashionably late in an Uber black car. The car door was opened by a flamingo wearing nothing but gold epaulets, and the pig was lead through the foyer and into the backyard with a stunning view of the Arroyo and the mountains across the gorge. The pig looked for Kevin but couldn’t see anyone who looked like his photo. Instead, a caribou in a french maid apron came up to her with a tray of hors d’ oeuvres and said: “Would you like a Kevin and cranberry crostini?”
