The next boy said, "That's nothing. My dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, calls it a song, and they give him $100." The third boy said, "I've got you both beat. My dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, calls it a sermon and it takes 8 men to collect all of the money."

But, most certainly, you cannot refer to him as the "Head Hog at the Trough." The man replied, Well, I have $10,000 that I was thinking about donating to the building fund." The secretary said, "Oh, well in that case, I think the "BIG PIG" just walked in the door."

For example, we are instructed on how to save our money, secure o ...
