    This little piggy lost his glory,
    He got bumped from the children’s story.
    The curses outmatched him,
    The fatwah dispatched him,
    Watch for the knives – this will get gory.

    Yeah…I remember all the Jewish parents in our neighborhood forbidding their kids to watch Porky Pig. Geez–whom are we kidding here?

    Does this mean I can’t order pork fried rice any more?
