Man Retrieves Laptop From Pig

Not all heroes wear capes.

The man was sunbathing naked at the Teufelssee in west Berlin, a popular and perfectly legal practice in the German capital as part of what is known as FKK, or Freikörperkultur (free body culture).

The man’s pursuit had a happy ending when he got his laptop back.

The wild boar, sightings of which have become increasingly common, had apparently spotted a pizza being eaten by other bathers. It seized a yellow bag containing the man’s laptop, probably believing it to contain food, and was chased by the man into the undergrowth.

“Because the bag contained his laptop, he gave it his all, even though he was in his birthday suit,” explained Landauer.

The boar’s flight was slowed by a cardboard box in its path. The man clapped his hands and hit the ground with the stick, prompting the boar to drop the laptop.

Another witness said: “When he returned from the forest, everyone applauded him.”

    Great picture of Trump on the Golf Course.  Is that Steve Mnuchin in the speedo?

    Gee, I thought it was jjf,chasing after his computer while trying to figure out a data base.
    Or it might have been Le Roi, but at 69 years old, I think he uses a walker now.
    Of course it could be Randall. He has a way with pigs. A romantic thing, I think.

    Wrong again, mar. I may be 69, but a fit and trim 69. Anytime you want to put your 290# carcass in a foot race, let me know.

    Sure Le Rou, and then a strength test would also be nice. Maybe some sort of decathlon.

    Nope.  It’s a bacon thing :)

    Don’t embarrass yourself, mar. I’d even concede you the shot put, but would love to see you on the pole vault.
