Salvadoran Hollering Pigs Syndrome 

The syndrome is in swine and causes great pain to the animal in which a parasite in the pig’s stomach eats it’s stomach lining. This causes the infected to let out a ‘holler’ that is loud and can last for a few minutes or hours. The parasite eats the stomach until stomach acid spills out onto the rest of the organs, tearing through them and killing the swine.
My pig has Salvadoran hollering pigs syndrome. I’m going to have to put her down before it causes her even more pain.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
