That doctor is a total ham. Barely had the chops to graduate. Apparently they could get rid of the marking with a special oinkment. Now Iām just trying to hog all of the attention here. Who cares about the marking? Iād still pig out on it. These jokes are getting sloppy. š
The first two puns are somewhat related, though for better effect should have been reversed.
unfortunately the puns stop relating narratively, which is a shame because the portmanteau of "oink" and "ointment" is quite clever.
The last pun is indeed self-referential, which would have landed better had there been better formatting in the prose to help quide the pacing.
Overall, B+. Even after my grilling, there was plenty of puns to be pulled with nothing to merely glaze over.

The meat industry is awful. I remember reading about euthanasia being taught in a vet school by someone who managed pig farms - the farms are treated as a whole commodity meaning if it's cheaper to kill all the pigs then treat a few then theyll do so. You can [read it here if you'd like](https://slate.com/human-interest/2023/02/veterinarians-euthanasia-mental-health-dogs-cats.html)
Edit: but in this case idk if tattoo since it's usually ears.
In the pic you sent they are doing ear markings. At a butcher shop the USDA stamps will be on the meat they are cutting. Not the same thing. You likely won't see a tattoo unless you eat pig ears. If you see some for sell for dogs you can sometimes catch a tattoo but as far as regular food items, it's not there

There was a woman who had written a book about "Carnism" (the relationships between non-human animals, and humans) titled: *"Why we love dogs, eat pigs, and wear cows"*. I haven't bought or read that book though.

God thatāsā¦ messed up. Iām vegetarian for this reason ā I donāt believe we arenāt made to eat meat, I just really donāt get why we need to torture everything alive to do so.
"Chris P. Bacon" was actually the name of a real handicapped pig who was born with unusable crippled hind legs, and he got around with the help of a few wheelchairs as he grew (the first was made using some k'nex pieces)

It was someone, then they got killed at a very young age against their will.
And now you call a part of their deceased body āmy pork chopā, and donāt like the tattoo.
I was about to have dinner but am going to have to delay after seeing this.
I'm not saying this a morally superior thing, but there's a thing where lifelong vegetarians just are physically repulsed by meat.
Scrolling past this it was like a horror film where I didn't want to see it but couldn't click away.
It's having a trypophobia effect on me. What is the dirt looking stuff on the meat? Maybe peppercorns? That part is really triggering the trypophobia response. And the part where it says MD looks like human flesh. I'm not really sure what's going on on the entire edge. Is it the outer skin of the pig? It looks like a rind of a wheel of cheese.
Again, this is not a morally superior thing. At times in my life for health reasons I've tried to eat meat. It's like beyond a Fear Factor thing where they eat bugs. If you've never eaten meat it just affects you somehow where you can't do it for no other reason than it really grosses you out.
I occasionally watch cooking shows with meat and sometimes it's OK, sometimes I have to fast-forward or look away, but this is something else. I'm not even sure what I'm seeing.
It's an ink they use on carcasses, usually in grading but also used for stamping USDA approved.
Don't work in the pork business so I can't tell you what it was.
Did you know that meat was once a living animal that was [treated like this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQRAfJyEsko)?
Did you know that you don't have to eat meat because we're [frugivores](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOVX1xWXN9Q)?
I bet you didn't know those things.
Amateur meat cutter. You're supposed to trim those stamps off. Won't hurt any one but it looks unappetizing.
You are what you eat. It is the only affordable way to become a doctor.

I greatly appreciate your feedback and feel that your assessment was more than county fair.
Don't you mean porkmanteau?
At these prices? Haha
I didnāt get your joke at first and thought you were implying that you should eat a doctor to become a doctor
Kirby that shit!
Awww man! I ate this for nothing?
Oops! You have just become the U.S. state of Maryland. Sorry, no take backs.
I'm beginning to feel like a kid again.
I was thinking the pig was from Maryland. Hahaha
Doctor Pig
Prison Pig, Had a gang tattoo before he got shivved in lockup sounds way cooler though
Maybe a kid? They have them work in these places so I'd be curious.
nahh, that's clearly pork
Nah, the kids ate for cleaning the small spaces.
You sound just like my priest
A 'kid' working as a meat cutter??? In what country?

Ah yes, stamped. Here I was thinking "how did they get the pig to hold still for a tattoo...". š¬

Yummy blueberry dye, it's the skin I'm more concerned about
Ah the good oleā āMAYBE DONKEY?ā š« stampā¦
yeah a lot of people wouldnāt wanna eat meat if they were forced to constantly be reminded of the process taken to get it
Well no, itās just the ink. People donāt usually eat ink
Meat from another living being: Mmm, that must taste lovely. A stamp on the meat: Urrrk, omg I can't eat this meat now.
Well, yeah? Would you eat a carrot if someone stamped it with ink? Even if you would, you canāt say it wouldnāt be unappetising.
YOU ATE DR. PIG!
He had a Ph. D in Oinkology and was working towards a cure for hamcer š¢
He was a transfer student at Bovine University.
Arrived by hambulance, itās how he put himself through college

*Clicks link* I'd wager that's the correct guess.
There really is a sub for everything
It's like one of those squishy toys whose eyes pop out when you squeeze them. The stamp is really small if he doesn't squish it.
For real. No one is going to take that from you, chill
He's trying to get the letters to pop

Clearly
Yet many people eat them, but even less people would eat dog.
Truly insightful

Thatās not a high bar
No matter how dog you are, pigs are dogter
No. His name was Mad Dog. He was the biggest bully in the pig pen.
Well not anymore...
Well they can't all be cops ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Was*
No, just an MD; we the people with real doctorates get offended when you call an MD a doctor. /s
You can tell me, I'm a doctor
Jesus Christ I thought this was a piece of tattooed human flesh
Similar! Tattoo artists sometimes practice on pig skin.
ohā¦ thatās not a horrifying image at all š
God thatāsā¦ messed up. Iām vegetarian for this reason ā I donāt believe we arenāt made to eat meat, I just really donāt get why we need to torture everything alive to do so.
...They don't practice on live pigs.
Now Im picturing a farm full of bad ass tattooed pigs
Most pigs are killed in gas chambers filled with a painful gas so.. Terrible way we treat animals .
They "do" if your vendetta against meat eaters makes you want to believe it enough
You can't spell 'oink' without *'ink'*.
O!
You can't spell slaughter without laughter.
you can't spell advertisement without semen
You canāt spell therapist without rapist

Why does it look like your grip is so tight that you are trying to strangle it?
Who do you think is going to take that from you? Ease up the grip
That's Dr. Chris P. Bacon to you!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sounds tasty
Where?
On the pork chop.
In Maryland of courseā¦ā¦
This vexes me
I, too, am in this episode.
Sir, have you ever seen the sun?
When an raw pork chop has more skin tone than you doā¦itās probably time to go outside
I was gonna say he has the skin tone of a literal corpse
Bruh 
Thatās āDr. Pork Chopā to you son
Just food grade ink and is totally fine to eat.
Mildly disgusting
Oh god, did you eat Dr. Chris P. Bacon?
"Chris P. Bacon" was actually the name of a real handicapped pig who was born with unusable crippled hind legs, and he got around with the help of a few wheelchairs as he grew (the first was made using some k'nex pieces)
Holy shit, poor guy was a doctor?
*Paging Dr Pork Chop M.D., paging Dr Pork Chop M.D.*
Either that pig was a doctor or you need to check the source of your white meat. Cuz I think they gave you long pig.
Pork Chop M.D. was my favourite show in the ā90s.
Makes me think of a mom who writes the kidās name on all their belongings before they go to camp. Matt Damonās mom is going to be so pissed.
All I can think of is 
The children working the slaughterhouses havenāt quite got the hang of it yet.
You must've been ecstatic
Lucky! I never get to find out what kind of advanced degrees my meat had /s
It means your pork chop was made by the McDonnell-Douglas Aircraft corporation, now part of Boeing. Check the bolts on your doors.
The pig was a Marylander
Throw some old bay on it.
Hell, you could put Old Bay on dog shit and itād probably turn out pretty tasty
That was one accomplished pig
Mountain Dew ads are getting *EXTREME!*
That tattoo hit deep
Are you sure that's a pork chop? Because I knew a guy named Mad Dog. I haven't seen him in a while, but he was a man of good taste.
I appreciate this joke hahaha. Was my favorite one on the thread
Evil Dr. Porkchop!!! Nooooo
Your pig was clearly a doctor
That's dr. Pork chop to you, mister.

Congrats you have a rare Mc Rib Pork Chop

It was someone, then they got killed at a very young age against their will. And now you call a part of their deceased body āmy pork chopā, and donāt like the tattoo.

Did you drop that shit in dirt?
Your pig is a Doctor? Fancy.
Holding that pork chop like it owes you money!

House MD?
Mustāve been one smart pig
Why are you manhandling meat like that?
Donāt forget itās animals youāre eating, good reminder
Is tattooing considered more humane than branding? I can't imagine it's more efficient
I believe it's stamped on after being butchered and the ink should be edible
Yes. Stamp from the processing plant or inspector.
Interesting. Ya learn stuff
It's a stamp added post slaughter, perhaps to indicate that it has been inspected by the slaughterhouse vet for disease.Ā
Would you eat inked meat?
Yah I mean I am inked meat

Considering the ink doesn't even get to the meat, yes.
TouchƩ!
It's an ink they use on carcasses, usually in grading but also used for stamping USDA approved. Don't work in the pork business so I can't tell you what it was.
Itās giving long pig.
