A jumble of quips about truth and fools, a joke on long life via telephone range, a lunar kiss joke, and a drastic hogskin marvel. A Delmar area hog weighing 300 pounds shed its skin in November then reappeared alive with 33 pounds of cast-off fat, a new skin forming as the animal remained healthy.
