It's a old saying I've heard all my life but now I find that the real quote is a "dead pig in the sunshine" Technically, he isn't alive since he's my piggy bank.
More Pig quotes:
“If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?”
George Carlin
Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!
Davy Crockett
“One thing about a pig, he thinks he's warm if his nose is warm. I saw a bunch of pigs one time that had frozen together in a rosette, each one's nose tucked under the rump of the one in front. We have a lot of pigs in politics.”
Eugene J. McCarthy
