Where DO you find this stuff JayBee??

Gus McCray`s pig rental sign is my one prevailing memory of the 1985 Pulitzer prize winning "Lonesome Dove"....I recall an illustration of the sign somewhere in the book......maybe in the pages preceding text......or maybe as one of the chapter headers

How much for the pig?

I tell ya Pete....Gus McCray Don't Rent Pigs and I reckon I`ll stick with that philosophy for now

"Well...we don't rent pigs and I figure it's better to say it right out front because a man that does like to rent pigs is... he's hard to stop" ~ Gus McCrae

Now, hold on a minute there. I thought this was a yard sale. I don’t want to rent no pig, I want buy to one.

Pig rentals can be problematic; what with folks returning them with hind quarters missin' and all.  Nobody's rentin' 'em after that, no sir.
