Some Jamaicans questioned about this curious new practice called riding the hog seemed oblivious to the idea.
Ride the hog? one man questioned, laughing. Da one de new to me. Ah the first time mi a hear it, but anything possible since the monkey dead at Mount Rosser.
Years ago, there was a scurrilous rumour that Jamaicans, especially women, were willing to perform sex acts with a monkey in the community of Mount Rosser, St. Catherine.
The monkey supposed to dead now, one higgler mused. So now the hog ah do it.

Mi hear about the bullfrog with the padlock, and the monkey-sexing but dem gone too far with this hog-riding ting now, another man said.
In local culture, obeah workers often use a bullfrog with a padlock attached to its mouth as a charm to silence potential witnesses who are set to testify against their clients.
It works, when dem put the bullfrog wid the padlock inna the courthouse, people fraid fi testify. A couple years ago, it work pon a police inna the Falmouth courthouse. The police was a traffic cop who ride bike, one day him go fi testify inna one case and him coulden talk and him knock out inna the courthouse and the man beat the case, one Falmouth resident told XtraNews.
