A perfectly good ham dinner
Hello everyone. I have a question regarding the following passage:
And I sneezed a great sneeze.
And you know what? That whole darn straw house fell down. And right in the middle of the pile of straw was the First Little Pig -- dead as a doornail. He had been home the whole time.
It seemed like a shame to leave a perfectly good ham dinner lying there in the straw. So I ate it up. Think of it as a big cheeseburger just lying there.
Why is the author ( someone who personifies the Wolf in "The Three Little Pigs") saying "a perfectly good ham dinner" in the third paragraph? Is it a kind of pun to sound like "a perfectly goddamn dinner"?
