A Pig, More Weight, More Joy

Mita enemman kiloja, sita laajempi skaala iloja

I think this translates to something like:

With more pounds there is more joy.

The artist is: Koontz

This funny pig postcard is from Finland and was bought in 2017.

Gamorrean guard (nicknamed "Pig Guard") from Star Wars

Gamorrean Guard (nicknamed "Pig Guard") - funn-head mask, 35 X 38 X 52 cm

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

A Gamorrean is a large pig-like creature from the fictional Star Wars series. The creatures have little intelligence and are often hired as guards, mostly by Jabba the Hutt, who was fond of hiring them due to their low cost. On their home planet, Gamorreans exist in a sort of tribal political system dominated by the female sows.

Physically, Gamorreans appear in Return of the Jedi as greenish, slimy (and apparently smelly) pig-like creatures. They are about 1.8 metres (6 ft) tall and weigh about 100 kilograms (220 lb).  Jabba the Hutt was known to use dim-witted Gamorreans as enforcers and bodyguards.

If somebody says something which is patently false or untrue, you're liable to to say that it's hogwash. The term comes from the fact that what a pig does that resembles washing doesn't actually leave them very clean. The simple fact is that Pigs are not particularly clean animals.

Also, they don't sweat. When they want to cool off they use mud to lay down in - not particularly sanitary by our standards, but certainly effective.  If you were to give a hog a bath, he would just go and roll in the mud some more.
Hench the term "hogwash" for anything which isn't true.

This Little Piggy

This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy went to Sunday School
And my! did he have fun!

"We missed you Sunday."

Train up a child in the way he should go: and, when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Prov. 22:6

the back reads:

Dear _________
The little people and the big people in __________
missed you.  We shall be watching for you next Sunday
Your loving friend
