To call you a ******* would degrade a marvelous animal , one that has provided companionship , loyalty and assistance to mankind for well over a thousand years ! You are Mica ! A lifeless rock glittering in the sunlight , with many see through layers , brittle with very little redeeming qualities , laying like a precious stone yet not even worth a casual glance ! To tag you as a stupid *** would not be fair to the Mule , hard working farm animal , strong willed till his time of dying , up at the crack of Dawn , protecting the farm from coyote and fox , off to the fields for another days work ! You're a Myna bird , eyes fixed to the looking glass , talking all day , confiding in no one , creating discord amongst your brethren ! A pig you are most certainly not , the most intelligent animal on the farm , picky eaters despite their reputation , escaping the most well built fencing available , much to the herdsman's consternation !
