From my experience here in Lancaster County PA and personal contact with some Amish, this is really a clever take. Somehow I never thought of Rat as Amish, and pigs comment about Holiness is great!
The quote paraphrases one attributed to Richard Nixon dated sometime around 1971 or 2. I used to have it printed out on a card that was widely distributed at that time. Nixon was speaking to the press about what he perceived was a mis-characterization of something he had said. My own recollection of the quote is: “I know you believe [or think] you understand what I said, but I don’t think you realize that what I said is not what I meant.”
