My sister-in-law's first teaching job was in a rural school about a half-hour out of town. My brother, for reasons known only to him, but possibly something to do with his being an utter bastard, once told her that the way to tell boy and girl pigs apart was that boy pigs tails' curled clockwise, and girl pigs' curled counter-clockwise.
This inevitably led to a classful of farm kids laughing at her.
OMG, your sister totally reminds me of my Aunt Jyl. My mom and my Aunt Dixie once convinced her that the Forest Service had a project to teach the deer and bears to bury their sh*t in the woods in order to keep our forests tidy.
