Did you hear the one about the pot-bellied pig at Burger King? Pennsylvania State Police swear it is not a whopper.

Troopers from the Somerset barracks were called to the restaurant on US Route 30 near Boswell, Pennsylvania, after the pet wandered from its home and took up residence near the fast-food restaurant.

The eatery was running a two-for-4 dollar special on bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches, but the pig was not promoting or participating in the deal. Rather, he was scoffing down hash browns given him by one customer and snapping at some others who got too close before police arrived.
