- It was a pig fair in November, and long he will remember, he was sporting around the town in drunken pride. His knees began to flutter and sank into the gutter. A pig came up and layed down by his side. And he laying down by his side in the gutter thinking thoughts he couldn't utter. He chanced to hear a passing lady say you can know the man that boozes by the company he chooses, and with that the pig got up and walked away.
