What's time to a pig?
An engineer from UofT was holidaying in the Niagara Peninsula. Strolling a country lane, he saw a farmer lifting pigs one by one into the apple tree. The farmer patiently moved a porker from branch to branch and when the creature had its full, got another pig. After watching a bit, the engineer had to call out: 
“That’s so inefficient. A lot of time will be saved by shaking the apples onto the ground and letting the pigs all eat at the same time.”The farmer replied
“What’s time to a pig?”
Holding the pig up is like elevating one disease to feast on the resources of government and media attention while leaving the other causes of poverty, ill health, sorrows and death to run around hungry in the orchard of plenty.
