Reminds me of a joke:
A guy was stopped at a rest area when he noticed a big semi full of hogs was leaving but that there was a hole in the back door and one of the hogs got out. He tried to flag the guy down but was unsuccessful.
He decided to try and catch the animal and so he chased it around and finally caught it, put it in his car and started speeding down the Interstate trying to catch up with the truck that left the hog behind. As he's thinking he's making progress he gets pulled over by state police. The cops sees the hog and asks the guy what's up. To which he responds with his tale of catching the hog to try and return it which was why he was speeding.
The cop looks things over and finally says. "Look, that truck is long gone, going 70mph, you'll never catch up to him. Tell you what, why don't you just take this animal to the zoo?" The guy decides that this sounds like a solution and the cop foregoes issuing a citation and the guy gets to just go home.
A couple weeks later the same cop is on patrol and he sees this guy's car but as he looks closer he sees the hog in the passenger seat wearing a baseball cap so out of curiosity he pulls the guy over to see what that's all about.
The cops asks him, "so what up? I thought I told you to take that hog to the zoo!" The guy says, "Why yes, officer, I did! And we had such a great time that I'm taking him to the game today!"
