It was 1962, and Carlos was still a youngster back home in Brazil. It was late, and he’d had a big supper that… well… caught up to him. Anyways, it was cold out that night, and he didn’t want to put on his boots, find the flashlight, and treck across the yard to the outhouse. So, instead, he hung his ass over the side of the porch into the pig pen (why the pig pen was right next to the house is a complete mystery to me). As fate would have it, a big old sow ran over and tried to jump up on Carlos, but only managed to get into the evacuation zone of Carlos’ activities. Both Carlos and the sow were significantly dirtied by the misadventure, and Carlos was forced to take a very, very cold bath to clean himself up before returning to bed.
As a result of the problems associated with import-substitution industrialization and the reforms introduced by the military regime after March 1964, the Brazilian economy lost much of its dynamism between 1962 and 1967.
