This story has been collected and transcribed by Mark Jeffers with permission from the author

My father smuggled a pig over the border with a blanket wrapped round it. Customs asked who it was and we all said 鈥淕ranny!鈥

The pig let out a grunt and the custom official just said, 鈥淎wful bad cough, awful bad cough, on you go!鈥 and we got away with it!
