This old story originated many years ago Ireland where the farmers took their pro duce and livestock to the market tor sale ev ery Saturday. Little suckling pigs were a very popular commodity in season, but they were slippery little rascals to handle, so it was common practice to put them in a burlap bag, or a 'poke', as it was called then. And because the buyer of the little piglet didn't want to go chasing it all over the fair grounds, if it got loose, he didn't bother to untie the bag, and just bought it by weight, sight unseen. This was a very happy situation until some wiseacre got the idea of putting one of the barnyard cats in the poke instead of the piglet, and then it became very risky to buy "a pig in a poke." So shrewd buyers would in sist on opening the poke first to see what they were getting, and very frequently they would "let the cat out of the bag" . . . which is how the expression originated. There are still an awful lot of 'cats' being sold for 'piglets' today, but shrewd buyers haven't changed much . . . they like to see what they are getting when they buy something.
