When Pigs Fly

I was helping a customer with her internet issues, 
and remarked that before we’re done, that she will be
like one of our field technicians.

She indicated that she did not want to be a network guru.
"When pigs fly,” she said.  I told her that I had read an article of a
farmer that had done just that, he was able to get his pigs to fly.

He had strapped small jet engines and wings to the backs
of his piglets, started them up and away they went.  
He had them launch from the barnyard with some geese, 
horses, chickens, cows and newsmen looking on. 

Lead heading on the local newspaper article said, 
"PIGS FLY, GOOSE IS COOKED".  
The farmer was sorry that the goose was too close 
to the action, but had a great victory meal..

…and the customer was laughing so much that she 
didn’t notice that she had accomplished the task at 
hand, and was able to get her internet up and running.

That's my Hubby! He helps people with their networking problems and does it with a laugh. He is the most imaginative person I know... And he brainstorms to help me with Dragon... You can't get sweeter than that!...
