eyes what would the vicious german officers in the movies say if schweinhund pig- dog weer denied them what would southern politicians do if they couldnt accuse their oppon ents of growing hog fat at the pub lic trough or eating too high off the hog another common misconception about hogs is that they ara dirty we ara always reading in books about spanishspeaking types call ing someone feelthy peeg or frenchman doing the same with sales cochens fact is they dont even sweat like humans so cant even be accused of hairing bo w thats why they like to wallow in mud and water its the only way
