Pigs Debate the Tall Skinny Gods

brother may I have some oats? No brother, I have seen this before. I have observed many things. From the roaring beasts that the tall skinny figures crawl inside of to travel far beyond the horizon. They will do terrible things in that shed, brother. NO, BROTHER. You must believe me. Share with me the oats and you shall not reach the desired girth for the tall skinny ones. They will spare your life, brother. ...the horizon, I saw it. I was taken to a gathering of these tall skinny figures. They paraded me around, brother, and I saw the truth. I saw the tall skinny figures consuming our flesh. They could not have been mistaken, brother. The smell of the flesh was surely one of us. They suspended the flesh above a fire and let it burn before consuming it. They did not just consume it either brother. They took pleasure from this... your story amuses me, brother, but does not convince me. I shall have these oats myself and dine with the tall skinny gods. I am sorry for you, brother. Your eyes cannot take the blinding light of the truth and you scurry back into the cave. I shall take care of your spawn once they consume you, brother, as they have consumed your lover, our father, our mother, and many more.

Два свиньи идут по загону и ведут серьёзный философский спор об овсе и «высоких худых богах» — людях. Один предупреждает брата о людоедских ритуалах в сарае, но второй жадно выбирает овёс и отвергает его рассказ. Шутка строится на мрачном очеловечивании свиней и ироническом сравнении людей с ужасными божествами.

I shall have these oats myself and dine with the tall skinny gods. I am sorry for you brother. Your eyes cannot take the blinding light of the truth and you scurry back to your cave. I shall take care of your spawn once they consume you brother, as they have consumed your lover, our father, our mother, and many more.
