In Taylorville, Illinois where my wifes Aunt and Uncle live and where her dad grew up is a statue in front of the Courthouse of Abraham Lincoln and a pig, yes a REAL pig, story is as a young lawyer he had a case there but a pig was on the loose and ran under the Courthouse and no one knew how to get it out, so Abraham Lincol, YES the future President of the US crawled under there and caught the pig and brought it out thereby saving the day. He ALSO won his case in the Courthouse not long after that!!
Thank you for that explainer. "Pig" had me scratching my head. LOL
