A relative was telling a story last night about going to a pig-pickin'. She said that the pig that was being roasted had its tongue all hanging out of its mouth. Grotesque image.

That image caused me to say spontaneously, "Well, that explains why people put an apple into the pig's mouth! An apple would stop the tongue from falling out and would be a by far prettier sight to see on the spit!"

Whuddaya think of my theory?
