Even a blind hog will root

There are a few sayings that will get you through life.  An old favorite is " Even a blind hog will root".   Kadizzle at one time worked for an old southern buzz cackler, Hubert Myers.  Kadizzle's office was right next to Huber's office who was in charge of the mining operations in North Dakota.  Because his door was open Kadizzle could overhear his conversations.  Art went into his office.  Art was a bull of a man. Art was a great big guy in charge of maintenance.  There had been some dispute about how to repair a large piece of equipment.  Hubert and Art got into a shouting match and in the end it turned out Art had been correct in his diagnoses.  Hubert ended the conversation by saying to Art " Even a blind hog will root".    Kadizzle had never heard that saying before, but looked into it.  The meaning is anyone can accidently find an acorn or even be right by accident. 

Well Kadizzle and Winky have adopted the saying.  Often when a dispute occurs and one of us is proven wrong we might have to admit we were wrong.  There is nothing worse than admitting you are wrong.  There is a simple way out.  All you have to do is say to the person who happened to be correct " Even a blind hog will root".   Unfortunately in our country you can vote blind hogs into office.  Trump says all the economic good news is due to him.  There is an apple tree in our yard.  Kadizzle claims he has provided all the apples.  No the guy who planted the tree provided the apples.  We just harvest them.  Obama planted the apples Trump is harvesting, but " Even a blind hog will root".
