A pig walked into a pub.
As he walked up to the bar, he noticed a strange bottle bubbling away, with mist rising from the top.
Curious, he asked the bartender,
“What’s that?”
The bartender smiled and replied,
“It’s a magical potion I invented. Just one sip, and it will unlock your full potential.”
“Yeah, right,” said the pig.
The bartender pointed across the room.
“See that big lion over there? He used to be a tiny house cat. One sip of the potion, and now he’s the king of the jungle.”
“See that crocodile over there? He used to be a little lizard. One sip of the potion, and now he’s at the top of the food chain.”
“Alright,” said the pig.
He picked up the bottle and took a big drink.
A cloud of smoke instantly surrounded him.
When it cleared, the pig looked down at himself in complete shock.
He had turned into a human.
“What the heck has your potion done to me?” he shouted.
The bartender calmly asked,
“How do you feel?”
The man paused.
“I feel… I feel like being more selfish… I feel like lying… like making promises I’ll never keep…”
The bartender nodded and said,
“Yep, just as I expected.”
“It turned you into a politician.”
