A Minnesota sheriff’s office encountered a couple of true road hogs earlier this week.

A driver who was pulled over for having trouble staying in his lane turned out to be operating the vehicle with a 250-pound pig on his lap, Sgt. Jason Foster told Minneapolis news station KMSP-TV.

He also had a smaller pig with him. Both pigs can be seen in a photo posted to social media by the Chisago County Sheriff’s Office. The smaller pig appears to be standing next to the driver’s seat, behind the larger pig’s leg.

2. When I first read the title

I thought Trump was sitting on the guys lap.

5. Be nice. What do you have against pigs?

Besides, Trump weighs a hell of a lot more than 250.

3. I see people do this with their dogs

and not just Chihuahuas, either. Is it somehow worse with a pig?

4. Generally, pigs out weigh dogs.

12. In my opinion

any animal on your lap, shoulders, whatever, is distracted driving. A driver may tend to make (or choose not to make) actions that prioritize the safety of the animal, rather than the safety of people in other vehicles, not to mention the safety of people in the driver's own vehicle.

And, if Fluffy is in your lap, what's going to happen when the air bag deploys?

6. Handsome pigs. I see the little one too.

7. One of my favorite jokes:

A man is driving down the road behind a truck full of pigs when it hits a pothole and one bounces out. He puts on the breaks and since the critter is stunned by the fall he manages to get it into the back seat and takes off after the truck. Of course he passes a speed trap as he hurtles along. When the cop pulls him over he explains he’s trying to catch the truck.

“Aw man,” the cop says, “why don’t you just take that pig to the zoo?”

“Well, if you think I should.” He replies, and goes on with a warning and a wave.

A few days later the cop is lying in wait at the same trap when the same guy whizzes by, the pig in the passenger seat, little pig arm propped on the open window, a pair of sunglasses on its snout. Of course he pulls him over.

“I thought I told you to take that pig to the zoo,” he says.

“I did,” the man grins, “and we had such a good time we’re going to the beach!”

11. That's dangerous

When driving, I NEVER have pigs weighing over 200 pounds on my lap. They're just too distracting.........
