Before the scientists figured out the evil formula for the hog feed, hogs were fed skim milk and Oreo cookies.

After a cup of malted milk, the only thing you want is some square-dancing. The kid seated next to the door looks like he is doing community service, the girl standing on the right stuck her tongue out; must be thirsty for some of that milk.
