Five Little Piggies

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 halfway 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, 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, 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.

The following morning, it was mud again! This continued for a week until one morning the farmer was so tired he couldn’t get out of bed.

He called out to his wife, “Honey, please look outside and tell me if the pigs are in the mud or in the field.”

“Well, neither,” yelled his wife. “They’re all in the station wagon and one of them is honking the horn.”
