Wow, great stuff! Very fond of **Prof. Pepperwinkle** ’s “wee-wee-wee” joke, and **Ponderoid** ’s “bowed and prayed.” But I decided to pick the winner from the few that managed to work in the fact (if that’s the right word) that the piggies are banks. The winner is **furryman** ’s “I hate to ask, but how do we get our money out of it?”
