About this time, too, it was laid down as a rule that when a pig and any other animal met on the path, the other animal must stand aside: and also that all pigs, of whatever degree, were to have the privilege of wearing green ribbons on their tails on Sundays.
– George Orwell
Animal Farm. Chapter 9. The pigs continue to assert their power over the others and excuse themselves from the rules. The ribbon ban no longer applies to them.
