Pigs 'n Hawgs

After a weekend trip home to Arkansas, Bill Clinton stepped from the helicopter and onto the White House lawn. He was carrying two Arkansas-bred hawgs, one under aech arm. At the bottom of the steps, a young Marine snapped to attention, saluted sharply and said, "Fine looking pigs, sir!"

Clinton turned and glared at the boy. "Son, don't you know I'm from Arkansas? These ain't pigs. They're hawgs."

The Marine shot back, "Marine begs the COMMANDER IN CHIEF'S pardon, sir! Fine looking hawgs, sir!"

Clinton smiled with pride and the young man relaxed.

The President went on, "Thank you, son. You see this one here?" He lifted up the pig under his right arm. "I got this one for Chelsea." Then he nodded to the hawg on his left. "And this one here, I got for Hillary." At that the Marine snapped back to attention and said, "Outstanding trade, sir!"
