As the truck takes the corner, a pig comes flying out and lands on the road. The driver of the car puts the pig in his car and takes off after the farm truck. As he&#8217;s speeding along trying to catch up with the truck, he goes through a speed trapand gets pulled over. The driver explains to the police officer that he&#8217;s just trying to return the pig. The officer says, &#8220;Well, you&#8217;ll never catch it now, you should just bring the pig to the zoo.&#8221; The driver agrees, and off he goes.<\/p>\n<p>The next day, the cop is patrolling, and who should he see drive by but the same guy. He still has the pig in the passenger seat, but now the pig is wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap. The police officer pulls the car over, and confronts the driver. &#8220;I thought I told you to take that pig to the zoo!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The man replies, &#8220;I did. We had such a great time that I&#8217;m taking him to the ball game today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=MsoNormal align=center style='margin-bottom:13.5pt;text-align:center'><span\nclass=SpellE><b><span style='font-size:13.5pt;color:red'>NetMeister<\/span><\/b><\/span><b><span\nstyle='font-size:13.5pt;color:red'>: <a\nhref=\"mailto:MIKE-WB8ICN@worldnet.att.net\">Mike<\/a> &#8211; WB8ICN &#8211; FP#-68<\/span><\/b><b><span\nstyle='font-size:13.5pt'> <\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/b><b><span style='font-size:13.5pt;color:black'>The Simplified Flying<br \/>\nPig NETS check-in procedure.<\/span><\/b><b><span style='font-size:13.5pt'><\/p>\n<p>I will send: &quot;CQ FP CQ FP CQ FP de WB8ICN K&quot; &#8230; and then listen for check-ins. <\/p>\n<p>At this point, you would just send your <span class=SpellE>callsign<\/span> once or twice.
