What comes between the pig and the cow? The rat, of course:
About 1,500 people celebrated the Chinese New Year and Lantern Festival at Carmel High School on Sunday.
People came from all over Central Indiana to ring in the year of the rat, which began Feb. 7. A traditional New Year celebration lasts two weeks and ends with the Lantern Festival.
Just trying to help you keep up with your multicultural homework. Last year was the year of the pig. Next year will be the year of the cow. I would relate all of this to the presidential contest, but you can probably figure out the ways I would get in trouble.
You're not still writing "pig" on your checks, I hope. Stole that joke from NPR's "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" program from a couple of weeks ago. Feel free to steal it from me.
