Shoppers in the French city of Poitiers got a bit of a surprise today when a wild boar joined the throngs and went on a shopping spree. We, more like a shop-smashing spree. Apparently, the boar was not in the apparel shop looking for a new shirt.
Christmas shoppers and employees were evacuated from the store and the 90-kilo (198-pound) boar began charging at police, before falling in a hail of bullets early in the afternoon.
Just how the animal entered the shop, located in a commercial area near the city of Poitiers, remains a mystery. But three boars were spotted during the day in the region bordering the countryside, a police statement said.
Let's all sing a rousing chorus of Let it Sow, Let it Sow, Let it Sow. Swinelet Night? Anyone? Why are you looking at me like that?

Some shoppers simply make pigs of themselves at Christmas time……………
Heh heh. Martian, you are on to something. Come to think of it, a bunch of women shoppers crowded around a bargain table is reminiscent of a bunch of hungry pigs around the feeding trough.
