How Many Pigs?

（单词翻译:单击）

Howard County¹ Police officers still write their reports by hand, and the data is entered later by a computer tech into their database². One theft report stated that a farmer had lost 2,025 pigs. Thinking that to be an error, the tech called the farmer directly.

"Is it true Mr. (Smith) that you lost 2,025 pigs?" she asked.

"Yeth." lisped the farmer.

Being a Howard County girl herself, the tech entered: "Subject lost 2 sows and 25 pigs."
