You ever have a "Big Day"? We all have. Not quite like this group, however. Take the case of Butch and Murph, who decide to hold up a bank only to find that Murph is the "one millionth customer!" amid a flurry of confetti.

So they arrange to bring the hogs to the church property and temporarily care for them in the fenced playground.
