“Never argue with a fool, because from a distance, other people can’t spot which one’s the idiot.”
S.Q
The pig got up and slowly walked away
‘Twas an evening in October, I’ll confess I wasn’t sober,
I was carting home a load with manly pride,
When my feet began to stutter and I fell into the gutter,
And a pig came up and lay down by my side.
Then I lay there in the gutter and my heart was all a-flutter,
Till a lady, passing by, did chance to say:
You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses,”
Then the pig got up and slowly walked away. Benjamin Hapgood Burt
