Ed’s town

Ed’s first job was in a pig sty. He smelled like shit. He almost always felt like it too. Dick, Harry and Tom, had more experience with the pig sty than Ed and would treat Ed just the way Ed felt.

Ed’s next job was with the military, far, far away from home and the pig sty. Ed felt smart and luckily survived the war and was awarded a medal of honor.

When Ed returned to the pig sty Dick, Harry and Tom were dead. Four new boys worked the sty and saw Ed with his bright shiny new medal. Ed felt great. But the rest of the town still thought Ed smelled like shit. So, Ed always wore his uniform and a pig nose.
