Pig Tales

Pig Tales by Iggy Oink – 17 – So here’s the thing about pigs – we are the inspiration for a lot of idioms in pop culture (most of them factually incorrect) – and I have to say – I just don’t like this fact at all. For instance – “sweat like a pig” – pigs don’t sweat – we have no sweat glands – the very reason why we like to swim and roll in the mud. “Pig out” – to eat like a glutton – the reality is that we are famous for only eating until we are full – we know nothing of over-indulging.

And something else I bet you didn’t know – We first came to the new world around 1540 – transported here by the Spanish no less. We have a long history in the animal world and a little respect would be appreciated. So when you compare us to your local policeman – you are way off base. We do not carry guns or eat donuts. Time to re-think pigs – you human peoples – we are actually pretty terrific.
