A farmer had five female pigs and, as times were tough, he had
determined 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 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.
The following morning, MUD again !! And the next morning, MUD
again!!!
This continued all week until 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.\"
