Pork is a funny word. It just _sounds_ funny. PORK and beeeeeaaaans! You just want to slip her the pork! When I use Access, I keep wanting to say ‘impork’ and ‘expork’. I imagine the Swedish Chef saying, ‘Pork! Pork! Pork!’ PORK! ---

There was a sketch on one of the Monty Python records (I don’t think it was in any of the shows) where John Cleese is the host of a children’s quiz show. “What do we call the meat that we get from pigs?” and one of the kids enthusicastically answers “Pooorrk!” But the host’s answers and questions cards get mixed up, and pretty soon the answer to everything is “Pooorrk!” ---

We have a lot of pork in the house right now. Pork loin was on sale at the local grocery: $5 for a 5 lb pork loin. That’s insanely cheap. We bought a lot of pork. We have enough pork chops to feed a legion now. I think we’re going to buy another loin and get it ground for when we are tired of pork chops. I think perhaps we should carve a turkey out of pork for Thanksgiving. ---
