"It was just a figure of speech, von Schitz. You don't really think it might fly, do yo?"

"The advert said 'Our Big Bore kit is the missing source for increasing your motorcycle's raw power,' but it was a pig to fit."

"A noble effort, Sir, but I'm afraid you haven't quite persuaded the IOC to introduce wild-boar-jumping next time round.

"However, if those crates are stuffed with used $100 notes, we would be prepared to reconsider the matter."

There was a young pilot called Ber
Who said 'pigs might fly, I declare'
He mounted a boar
And took it outdoor
But the swine didn't take to the air
