A farmer had five female pigs
and, as times were hard ...
... he had decided to take them to
the county fair and sell them.
While at the fair, he met
another farmer who owned five male pigs. After talking a bit, they
decided to mate the pigs and split everything 50/50.
The farmers lived sixty miles away from
one another and so they agreed to drive thirty miles and find a
field in which to mate their pigs. The first morning, the farmer
with the female pigs got up at 5 AM. loaded the pigs into the
family station wagon, which was the only vehicle they had, and
drove the thirty miles. While the pigs were mating, he asked the
other farmer, "How will! I know if they are pregnant?"
The other farmer replied, "If they're in
the grass grazing in the morning, then they're pregnant, if
they're in the mud, then they're not."
The next morning they were rolling in the
mud, so he hosed them off, loaded them again into the family
station wagon and proceeded to try again.
This continued each morning the following
week until one morning the farmer was so tired that he couldn't
get out of bed. He called to his wife, "Honey, please look outside
and tell me if the pigs are in the mud or in the field."
"Neither," yelled his wife, "they're in
the station wagon and one of them is honking the horn."
