Aloysius Woodside of Shobdon Castle was sent to trade pigs in Italy, to improve the technique of tail docking and more concerning the world of pigs. Of this experience he brought back to Shobdon Castle a Tuscan saying: tutto pole esse forchè the pregnant man. it likely means that while many things are possible, there are some things that are just plain impossible, like a man getting pregnant. Regardless of interpretation, this saying emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and accepting our limitations, while striving for excellence within the realm of what is possible.
