Three Little Pigs VS. Big Bad Wolf

The scene is a courtroom. The Big Bad Wolf stands in handcuffs before the judge.

Judge: Read the charges, Bailiff.

Bailiff: The wolf is charged with harrassment, threatening to commit bodily harm, Pigomy---"

Wolf: Your Honor, what is Pigomy?

Judge: The consumption of more than one Porcine creature within a single twenty-four-hour period.

Wolf: Oh.

Judge: I seem to remember telling you that the next time you went hog wild in my town I'd throw the book at you. (Picks up a huge book and throws it at the wolf) There, now get out!

Three Little Pigs: Oh thank you, Your Honor!

Judge; Yeah yeah, now get out!
