[QUOTE="Blackjack, post: 395485, member: 1866"] Of course, in reality the tax-to-comment ratio is off. I rarely carry coins on my person, so when I make an off-table remark (technically warranting a dime), I tend to stuff a dollar in the pig. I don't usually make nine more off-table cracks that evening to make up for it. :) An amusing side note is that "the pig" is not always a pig. We started with an actual piggy bank, but then after a few Star Wars runs we switched to this hollow rubber Jabba toy; you squeeze Jabba's head and his gaping mouth opens, so you can shove stuff down his gullet. It's quite satisfying. PCat & KC were then given a mechanical Nazgul coin bank, which we used for a while, too. It would make a creepy Nazgul scream when you dropped coins down a slot in its back. Regardless of the shape of the actual object, though, it's always referred to as "the pig". Apparently the inherent porcine nature of the tax-on-comments overpowers the material shape of the coin storage device. [/QUOTE]
