A farmer
July 15th, 2005
A farmer had five female pigs and as times were hard,
he 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.
As the farmers lived 60 miles from each other, they
agreed to meet half-way and find a field in which to
mate their pigs.
The first morning the farmer with the female pigs got
up a 5 am, loaded the pigs into the family station wagon,
and drove the 30 miles. While the pigs were mating he
asked the other farmer, “How will I know; if they’re
pregnant?”
The other farmer replied, “Tomorrow morning, if they’re
in the grass grazing, then they’re pregnant. If they’re in the mud, then they’re not.”
The next morning they were rolling in the mud, so the
farmer called the other farmer, hosed his pigs off; loaded them into the family station wagon and drove off to try again.
