Frozen Pig Heads, Anyone?
Sometimes I get some really strange misdirected email. There is a stool and chair company in Holland called Montis Design. Their customers used to mistype the address, ending with montis.com instead of montis.nl The result was that I would receive orders for seating in Flemish a few times a week. Today I received this query for a product that I most certainly do not traffic in:

Dear Jessy, I need the following questions answered in regards to the frozen pig heads: -What is the average weight? -Packaging details? -how many peices are in a 40' container. -Does the head have tounges? -What is the quantity you can ship on a regular basis? -Also can you provide frozen pig stomach and pig tails? Please send photos of the frozen pig head as well as detailed specs to zodiacf1@aol.com Thank you. Trade House Co., Inc www.Tradehouseco.com Goran Pecotic |

That’s actually a little scary… Very probably much more common fare in Europe than here in that States that’s for certain.
Perhaps it would make for an interesting Hallowse’en offering. The pig’s head with an apple is a common display of Fantasy trope; with the right amount of work it would be an amusing addition to a ghosts-and-ghoulies atmosphere.
