What can go wrong when you put a pedometer on a pig?

When a pig wears a pedometer and then eats it and poops it out, the battery can start a fire. Who knew?

That was my second guess.

But how far did it walk?

When my company started giving health discounts for completing X steps daily, I thought it was unfair as I had a bad case of Plantar Fasciitis.

So my Chihuahua got to wear the pedometer on her collar. Trust me, I was rackin’ up da steps too. But one day I let her out in the backyard and she returned without it. Haven’t seen it since, but thankfully no sections of the yard have burst into flame.

But did you know custard powder can explode ?

I’m not blaming the battery. If I had gone through what it went went through, I’d probably burn down my workplace as well.

If the pig itself had caught fire, they’d have instant bacon.

There’s a “six degrees” joke in there somewhere.

This thread is no where as I thought it would be…

I’m wonder why they didn’t just put the pigs on slow-moving treadmills.

Interesting.

This part amused me:

Our pigs are free-range, and WE CAN PROVE IT!

I expect a survivalist to produce a YouTube video extolling this in the bush.
