For citizens of pointy town, no position can be more exalted than that of the presiding pig-person, except of course the "new pig" itself. Unfortunately this role is not open to human beings. All impostors have been swiftly detected by the highly qualified piggery staff, and ejected... transported by sealed vacuum-pod to a distant location of which I cannot and dare not speak.
