One day a man called the church and asked the secretary 
if he could speak to the “Head Hog at the Trough.”  The secretary replied, “Sir, if you mean our pastor, then you will have to treat him with a little more respect and ask for the Reverend, or the Pastor.  But, most certainly, you can’t refer to him as the “Head Hog at the Trough.”  The man replied, “Well, I have $10,000 that I was thinking about donating to the building fund.”  The secretary said, “Oh, wait a minute, I think the Big Pig just walked in the door.”
