A farmer had five female pigs and, as times were hard, 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 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.
The following morning, MUD again!!! This continued all week until one
morning the farmer was so tired that he couldn't get out of bed. He called
to his wife, "Susie, please look outside and tell me if the pigs are in
the mud or in the field."
"Neither," yelled Susie, "they're in the station wagon and one of them is
honking the horn!"
