"Clyde Murdock tells of a Christian farmer who was spending a day in a large
city. Entering the restaurant for his noon meal, he found a table near a group
of young men. When his meal was served, he quietly, with bowed head, gave thanks
for the food before him.
The young men, observing this, thought they would ridicule
and embarrass the old gentleman. One called out in a loud voice: 'Hey farmer,
does everyone do that where you live?'
The old man looked at the callow youth and calmly said: 'No, son,
the pigs don't.'"

Swindoll)
