When my daughters wre in grade school, they cured hams for a 4-H project. After the judging as the county fair, something was said about hams being pork, from pigs. "Oh, no," my youngest daughter said, "Hams come from ham animals!"
Her belief was that the shank end of the ham was the "ham animal's" neck. To make a ham from a "ham animal" you cut off the head and legs, which left the round, fat body of the animal.
