Once upon a time there were three little New York Pigs.

The New York Straw Pig, the New York Stick Pig, and the New York Brick Pig.

One day this nasty old wolf came up to the straw pig's house and said "I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down." And he did!!!!

So the straw pig went running over to the stick pig's house and said 'Please let me in, the wolf just blew down my house. So the stick pig let the straw pig in.

Just then the wolf showed up and said, " I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down." And he did!!!

So the straw pig and the stick pig went running over to the brick pig's house and said, "Let us in, let us in, the big bad wolf just blew our houses down."

So the brick pig let them in just as the wolf showed up.

The wolf said "I'm gonna huff and puff and blow your house down." Now, the straw pig and the stick pig were so scared they were shaking! However, the brick pig just calmly picked up the phone and made a call as the big bad wolf was huffing and puffing without making much obvious progress against the brick pigs house.

In a few minutes a big, black stretch limo pulled up at the brick pig's house. Out stepped two massive pigs wearing pin striped suits and fedora hats.

These two pigs went over to the wolf, grabbed him by the scruff of his neck neck, and proceeded to beat the living crap out of him. Then largest and ugliest of these two massive pigs whipped out a gun, stuck it in the wolf's mouth and blew the wolf's brains out all over the brick pigs lawn. Without a word these two pigs then got back into their black stretch limo and drove off.

The straw pig and stick pig were dumbfounded!!! "Who the hell were those two massive pigs?" they asked the brick pig.

"Those were my cousins from Jersey... the Guinea Pigs" replied the New York Brick Pig.
