bob,
i love the pig wrestling allusion,
it reminds me of my grandmothers story
of the crow and the nightingale
who were arguing about
who was the better singer.
The other animals and birds decided
 a competition was in order,
and the pig was chosen to be the judge.
The nightingale sang its heart out,
and the pig listened.
Then the crow  cawed harshly a few times.
again the pig listened.
THen he announced his decision.
In my opinion, he said,
the crow is the better singer.

the nightingale said nothing
but later was seen weeping under a tree.
why are you dcrying, you agreed to accept the decision?
o i accept the decision, she said,
but it is that it was a PIG who was the judge.....!!

hilary
