Thanks Mexico

As you know, we manufacture the “caps lock” key for our keboards at a facility outside of Guadalajara, Mexico. Their main method of transporting machine parts and mixing the rubberized plastic composite for the molds, is pigs.

Pig power.

So I was down there this weekend, touring the plant, basically making life even more hellish for the employees, when one of the worker pigs (let’s call him Bill — that’s a good name for a pig) brushes up against my leg. I reached down to pet his ears and then I noticed he had a cough and a fever.

So, now I’ve got pig flu and the docs have ordered me to wear this mask. So if you’re wondering about Steve’s health, wonder no more. Steve has pig flu. Steve won’t be at WWDC, because he has pig flu. Steve won’t be revealing the iPad, because he caught the flu from a f••king pig. You’re welcome.
