TEN LITTLE PIGS
A farmer had 5 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 60 miles
apart, so they decided to drive 30 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
tomorrow morning, they're pregnant. If they're lying
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 and both farmers
were worn out.
The next morning he was too tired to get out of bed. He
called 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 are in the station wagon
and one of them is honking the horn.
