  • Quotes
    There's the story of the Pig and the Chicken walking along and the Chicken says "Let's have breakfast". Now the Chicken only has to give up an egg to make breakfast, while the Pig has to give up his Ass. We have often been the Pigs giving up our Asses to make breakfast, let's start sharing them Asses with everybody else. Thank you very much.
