Well you all all know how to catch wild pigs for the 4th of July don't you?

Because everyone loves their barbecue on the 4th. The 4th is the Independence Day for the

American people but you know who wants to talk about history when you want to get

pigs in your mouth and slather them with sweet sauce and make some meat candy. Here's how you do it.

Throw up a piece of fence, a side of fence, and then next to it, throw corn in there.

A couple bushels of corn and the pigs will come running.

They're crafty pigs mean and dangerous.

They'll kill you if they can, but just stand away, throw the

corn out there, and after a month or so put another section of fence put another

side up, but before you close off that fourth side, put a gate in that fourth side, okay?

And throw a lot of corn in there, and the pigs will come in, and maybe some will look at you, like, who the heck are you?

And then, when the pigs go in through the gate and get them used to

going through the gate, more free stuff, more free corn, more free corn. Pretty soon you got a lot of pigs in that pen and you're hungry for barbecue and the pigs are hungry for all their free stuff and that's when you close the gate. And maybe some of those pigs will say,

wait a minute, I used to be a free pig, then I didn't want to take this free stuff

that got me all trapped in the first place but you can just say

wait your turn pig and you just cook them up at your leisure and enjoy your 4th of July barbecue as we

celebrate the greatest country on earth of free people.

We used to be dangerous and we've been taught to get the free stuff,

just like those wild pigs, a late friend of mine, the famous alderman from the 34th ward,

the corrupt 34th Ward of Chicago,

Lemuel Austin used to say, and he used to love saying it,
