> TOLES There is No Rest of the Trick
Well, times is hard and feed scarce so I figgered to save some money.
I give my horse half a pound less feed every day. It was working out
real good and feed bills was way down at the end of the month. And
then the SOB up an' *died* on me. Dang. He never done *that* before.
Or something very like that.
It's recently occurred to me that most of the barnyard metaphors that
have served as wisdom for centuries have vanished from the language.
Anyone who has tried to um.... give direction to a pig understands
"pigheaded" in a very heartfelt way. Most folks today (in the
"developed" world, anyhow) have never actually *seen* a live pig and
most of those who have, viewed piglets in a petting zoo or overheated
sows lounging torpidly in a pen at a fairground.
