I knew there would be some naysayer ...... LOL and I really figured it would be you .... LOL again ... now here is a true story ... and for a small bet, I'll back it up with the name and address of two of the three guys to whom it happened ... waaaaaay long time ago .. and I mean like along about the time I was born ... there was a Texas Ranger who had two boys ... Joe and Tom were their names, but the daddy, I can't remember ... anyway ... the Ranger went off on a crime investigation and Joe and Tom decided to castrate the big ol hog they owned .. to get in good with the dad ... well, the ol Ranger, he KNEW when to do it and had warned the boys NOT to do anything til he returned ... but .. as they were young teens, and being boys ... they cut the boar hog ... and damned if it didn't bleed to death ... when done in the correct moon sign, castration will only cause a SMALL amount of bleeding, and very little pain ... or so it seems from observation of the deed ... as I have NO personal experience with the trauma .... LOL they got TWO horses to drag it away from the house area and down by the stream where a big tree had fallen over and left a hole .... they had to take an axe to cut the legs off the hog cause it weighed over 500 lbs and they were too lazy to dig the hole deeper ... well, Ol Ranger, returned and immediately missed the hog ... and when he found out the true story ... he wore them out with a stick of firewood .... LOL... and to this day ... and I saw Joe at Mass over the holidays ... they both put a great deal of faith in moonsigns ....... and if you don't belive that is true ... put up some money and I'll take it from you ..... LOL
