"Pigs Is Pigs" is a short story written by Ellis Parker Butler, not Will Crawford. The story was first published in the American magazine The American Illustrated Methodist in September 1905 and later gained widespread popularity. It humorously explores the absurdity of bureaucratic inflexibility and the consequences of rigid adherence to rules.

The narrative centers around a railway agent named Mike Flannery, who encounters a dilemma when a customer, Mr. Morehouse, attempts to ship two guinea pigs. Flannery insists that the guinea pigs should be classified and charged as pigs, which are livestock, rather than as pets. This classification results in a higher shipping fee. Mr. Morehouse disputes this, arguing that guinea pigs are not pigs and should be charged at the lower pet rate. The disagreement escalates, leading to a series of comical events as the guinea pigs multiply rapidly while the matter is being resolved through the railway company's bureaucratic channels.

The story is a satirical commentary on the inefficiencies and absurdities of bureaucratic systems, highlighting how strict adherence to rules without consideration of context can lead to ridiculous outcomes. "Pigs Is Pigs" was well-received for its wit and humor, and it has been adapted into various media, including animated films and radio plays.

Ellis Parker Butler's clever use of language and keen observation of human nature contribute to the enduring appeal of "Pigs Is Pigs." The story remains a classic example of early 20th-century American humor and continues to be enjoyed by readers for its timeless critique of red tape and bureaucratic rigidity.
