“The Bible even goes in for a little bimbo humor. ‘As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion’ (Prov. 11:22). Here, let us consider the parable. Is feminine beauty worth anything? Absolutely, between three and four hundred dollars an ounce. But what is her lack of discretion like? It is like six hundred pounds of porcine ugliness, fat, sassy, bristle-backed, and chewing on a root. But still the beauty is the central thing, and is given the place of honor, right there in the middle of our word picture, hanging on the snout” (A Serrated Edge, p 49).
