There are the typical - planting times and seasons, weather predictions (for the mid-south, a mild and dry winter and a cooler than normal spring), articles, ads for silly things.
One article in particular was interesting. It's called Ham on the Lam and it's about the epidemic pig population in the US. It appears that wild boar are taking over! That's the serious part.
The part I'm laughing about is the side bar in the article with some funny "pig" sayings.
Here are a couple:
Do you know what "a pig's whisper" is? It's a short period of time, the length of a pig's grunt.
Do you know what "pigs and whistles" is? It's trifles.
What about "to go to pigs and whistles"? To be ruined.
These are humorous, but the last two in the side bar are my favorite.
Do you know what it means when one says "to drive pigs"? Or what about "to drive your pigs to market"?
This is where I'm cracking up!
Next time your husband (or wife) is snoring, or snoring LOUDLY, poke them and say, "Are you driving pigs??" OR "Are you driving your pigs to market?"
That's what it means - "to drive pigs" is "to snore" and "to drive your pigs to market" is "to snore loudly"!!
HAHA!
I love this little paperback book!
