No pig should go sky diving during monsoon For this isn't really the norm. But should a fat swine try to soar like a loon, So what? Any pork in a storm. (Herb Sargent, of Saturday Night Live fame) No pig should go sky diving during monsoon, It's risky enough when the weather is fine. But to have a pig soar when the monsoon doth roar Cast even more perils before swine. (Charlotte Curtis, never heard of her) The above obviously written with pig pens, SORRY! OZ seismo!rlgvax!oz
