DON THE PIG


     Don's father always said that half a fire hydrant was better than none. 

     Don agreed with his father about most things, but not this. Whenever he encountered anything less than a complete hydrant he went wild. He knew these were tough economic times, but he felt that the Mayor of Pigtown went too far with the half-hydrants thing. 

     Were they for putting out half a fire? 

     Were they for relieving half a bladder? 

     Don liked rhetorical questions as much as the next pig, but they didn't help the situation. 

     But what would? An angry letter to the Mayor? Patricide? A stiff drink? Comfort slop? Meaningless sex?

     Don went on to try them all, with mixed results.

Here's the way quantum fire hydrant pairs work:

The halves can never be truly separated, and will often snap back together at super-light speed.

This explains the high water pressure.
