“No, you get a dime.”

I’m sure happy they made me soft and squishy and put that rubber plug in the bottom of my shoes ! Coin slot in the back of my head aches sometimes though.

I have a very old glass piggy bank that belonged to my grandparents

No plug, the only way to get coins out was to smash it or wiggle it upside down until the coins fell out

Maybe that’s where they came up with the name for the Piggly Wiggly grocery stores

Ham and eggs for breakfast. Chicken gave a little of itself – Hog gave all.

Don’t take it personally, Piggy. Your time has come. Your time is up.

It’s what you were “brought into this world” for.

I’ve heard about this kind of piggy bank, where you were supposed to smash it when it was full. I guess the idea was that you wouldn’t always be taking a few coins out on impulse, but would wait until you had as much as it would take.

Of course, then you would have the expense of buying another piggy bank.

Well did ya try shaking him up a bit before lowering the boom?

This isn’t what I meant when I said that I wanted to get hammered

Don’t worry Piggy, I think that hammer is gonna give you a break.

This is the trial, and that’s the judge’s gavel.
