LONDON -- London Mayor Boris Johnson really should have seen it coming.
Johnson decided to host one of his weekly #AskBoris Twitter question and answer sessions two days after #PigGate, in which prime minister David Cameron is alleged to have carried out obscene acts with a dead pig back in his university days.
What could go wrong with #askboris? When will you get pig sick of questions? https://t.co/De3PRaKUvg— Neil Walker (@MediaMook) September 23, 2015
Along with the usual mix of serious and absurd questions, the outspoken, mop-haired mayor was inundated with one-liners, questions and creative Photoshops related to PigGate.

Is Boris Island still a goer? And, have you ever put your penis in a dead pig's mouth? #AskBoris— Tommy (@Tommy_1972) September 23, 2015
Johnson didn't take the bait though. He chose to answer questions on transport, housing and the refugee situation.

This might not be the end of it, though.
