A farmer had five female pigs. Times were hard, so he decided to take them to the county fair and sell them…
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 equally.
The farmers lived sixty miles apart, so they agreed to meet halfway, then find a field where they could let the pigs mate.
The first morning, the farmer with the female pigs got up at 5 A.M….
loaded the pigs into the family station wagon, and drove the thirty miles to the field.
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 lying in the grass tomorrow morning, they’re pregnant… “
“If they’re in the mud, they’re not.”
The next morning, the pigs were rolling in the mud…
So, he hosed them off, loaded them into the family station wagon and proceeded to try again.
This continued each morning for more than a week…
Both farmers were worn out.
The next morning, the farmer was too tired to get out of bed…
He called to his wife, “Honey, please look outside and tell me whether the pigs are in the mud or in the grass.”
“Neither,” yelled his wife…
“They’re in the station wagon and one of them is honking the horn!”
