He’s Baconing To Understand, Part 2

(I have been going to a biology class for some time and have had the same lab partner all throughout. He’s in the army, and is probably over six feet tall and in his 20s. I’m only five feet tall, and barely 19. It’s one our final labs and we are to cut open a pig. He’s been laughing about the idea the whole semester.)

Professor: “Follow the directions in your lab book. Raise your hands if you need help.”

Me: *tying the legs open, getting the scalpel ready, I cut it open*

Partner: *pushes back from the lab table*

Me: “Don’t tell me I have to do all the work?”

Partner: “Hey, you need the class more than me.” *covering his mouth and nose*

Me: “Come on, it’s just a little pig.”

Partner: “Yeah, you’re right. The poor thing could have been some great bacon.”
