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