A Swine's Snout
Proverbs 11:22 "As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, So is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion."
A) All swine have snouts
B) The snout has many advantages
-It can be smeared in mud
-It can be smeared in slop
-It can be put into "oblivious" mode to endure terrible odors
-It can penetrate muck & mire enabling mouth to devour
-It can oink engagingly
C) A ring of gold in a swine's snout would:
-Be cumbersome
-Be ostentatious
-Be a rather strange occurance
-Be a media "attention getting" device
-Be rather rediculous to the well-being of its food-gathering needs
D) So is a beautiful woman who lacks descretion

A ring of gold in a swine's snout
Shouldn't make any of the ladies shout
To lack discretion
You get the impression
That this is what the Proverb is all about

I'm glad I'm a man.
