Strange Brew by John Deering for December 30, 2022

Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered.

Piglet a relation?

Just hope pork bellies go belly-up.

They look like Gloucestershire Old Spots to me ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloucestershire_Old_Spots

“Dogs look up to you, cats look down on you. Give me a pig! He looks you in the eye and treats you as an equal.” – sometimes attributed to Winston Churchill.

I have an associate who at one time worked for a company that slaughtered pigs. They were proud to say that the pig was the perfect animal: you can use every part of it except the oink.

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again, but already it was impossible to say which was which.” The last lines of Animal Farm by George Orwell.

Ham it up bacon-boy!

2023 is the year of the PORK spending in the HOUSE‼️

If pork futures are up, your future isn’t looking very good at all.

Pork futures?! Pork doesn’t have a future! Bacon is not a career.

One evening in October

When I was about one-third sober

And was taking home a load with manly pride

My poor feet began to stutter

So I lay down in the gutter

And a pig came up and lay down by my side

Then we sang “It’s All Fair Weather”

And “Good Fellows Get Together”

Till a lady passing by was heard to say

She says, "You can tell a man who boozes

By the company he chooses"

And the pig got up and slowly walked away

Timely, since it is National Bacon Day.

Wouldn’t rising prices for pork futures prompt them to be kept alive longer… for the future?
