"Once upon a time -- and a fine time it was, too, when the streets were 
paved with gold and the houses were whitewashed with buttermilk, and pigs 
ran about with knives and forks in their snouts, squealing 'Eat me!  Eat 
me!'...." -- Brendan Behan, "The King of Ireland's Son".

(It's from memory, so that's not verbatim, but I've always loved that 
opening. *That's* the way to start off a fairy tale.)

Sorta reminds me of the Big Rock Candy Mountain, too.  Didn't Ken Hite do a 
Supressed Transmission on that at one point?
