This is probably a stupid question but here goes.
In the CATM episode where Sammy Davis Jr. visits the garage there is a lot of laughter when Chico asks Sammy "Is a pig pork?"
and sammy says I wouldn't know.
Is there some significance behind the line that i'm missing or was it just a cute remark?
Is that stupid or what? LOL

Joy, Sammy Davis Jr. was a convert to Judaism. Jews consider pigs to be unclean animals, so they don't eat pork.
