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 50/50. The farmers lived sixty miles apart. So they agreed
to drive thirty miles each, and find a field in which to 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, which was the only
vehicle he 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
lying in the grass in the 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 again and
proceeded to try again. This continued each morning for more than a week.
The next Morning he 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."
