You sure they wern't talking about a HOG name for Iron City?

Or maybe Jerry got a case of Minnesota's fine Pig's Eye beer.

"The Legend of Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant
Back in 1838, about four miles south of Fort Snelling on the banks of the Mississippi River, sat Fountain Cave. Early explorers stopped to fill their canteens with the artesian spring water that ran freely from the mouth of the cave. Inside lived Pierre Parrant, an ornery old character with one eye serviceable. His other eye was marble-hued, crooked, with a sinister white ring around the pupil, giving a piggish expression to his sodden, low features. Parrant opened trade as a bootlegger, selling his homemade spirits. As legend has it, he did a thriving business and built the area's first log cabin.

One day, in 1839, a Frenchman named Edmund Brisette was seated at a table in Parrant's hovel ready to write a letter to a friend. Geography puzzled the writer. Where should he date a letter from a place without a name? He looked up inquiringly to Parrant and was met by the dead, cold glare of that eye fixed upon him....... in jest, Brisette dated the letter from Pig's Eye...... and that was the first name of the city which later became St. Paul, Minnesota."

Pig iron:
"Raw cast iron of uniform shape and size, usually a rough bar. These pig iron bars were formed by moulds in the sand floor of the cast house that resembled little pigs nursing on the belly of their sow. The pig iron bars were then sold to a forge or finery for further refinement into wrought iron or other fine cast products."

Am I the only one that senses a similarity to that reference of "little pigs nursing on the belly of their sow" somehow applying to the INFI trough???? :confused:
