A farmer hadfive female pigs. Times were hard, so he decided to take themto the county fair and sell them.At the fair, he met another Farmer who owned five malepigs.After talking a bit, they decided to mate the pigs and split everything 50/50.
The farmerslived sixty miles apart. So they agreed to drivethirty miles each,find a field in which to let the pigs mate.The first morning, the farmer with the female pigs got up at 5A.M., loaded the pigs intothe family station wagon, (which was the only vehicle he had) anddrove the thirtymiles. While the pigs were mating, he asked the other farmer, "How will Iknow if they are pregnant?"
The other farmer replied, "If they're lying in the grasstomorrow morning, they're pregnant. If they're in the mud, they're not."
The nextmorning the pigs were rolling in the mud. So he hosed them off, loaded them into the family station wagon again and proceededto try once more.This continued each morning for more than a week and both farmers were wornout.
The nextmorning he overslept and was too tired to get out of bed. He called to his wife, "Honey, please look outside andtell me whether the pigs are in the mud or inthe grass."
"Neither," yelled his wife, "...they're all in the station wagon and one of themis honking the horn".
