Goat: Where you off to, Pig?
Pig: San Francisco, to visit some friends who live there. I uses the weather's unpredictable, so they say to dress in layers. How do people live like this?
There’s an old joke in San Francisco that you can calculate the weather by finding tourists in shorts and count the rate that their knees are knocking together.
I wonder how Pig ever got that outermost layer buttoned? I didn’t layer up this way when I visited San Francisco years ago, and I won’t when I visit again within a year or so…. Pig got a bum steer and now is helplessly layered. At least he won’t be slugging anyone over the head with a baseball bat for a while. Lucky Goat!
I used to work in ‘Frisco, in a department storeI used to work in ’Frisco, I did but I don’t anymore.A lady came in for a cake, I asked her what kind she came for.“Layer” she said, and layer I did.I did, but I don’t anymore.

Oh, it is real tough. Layer after layer. I can hardly get on muni for the hens: layers all.

Pig’s reminding me of the “A Christmas Story” protagonist’s younger brother.

It works better if the layers fit. Clothes that are three sizes too big don’t help…

If you think that’s bad, Pig, just wait until you’re really, really, really in a hurry to go to the bathroom.

Pig is ready for the Haight but he will be broiled bacon in the Mission dressed like that.
