A man was walking in the country when he saw a pig with a
wooden leg sitting outside a barn. As he was wondering what
happened to the pig, the pig’s owner came along. The man
asked the farmer how the pig came to have a wooden leg.
The farmer said, “Let me tell you, that is some pig! Our
house caught fire last April and he dragged my kids to
safety!”
“Is that how he lost his leg?” the man asked.
“No,” replied the farmer. “But a month ago, I almost
drowned and that pig swam through icy water to pull me
to shore!”
“So that’s how he lost his leg,” the man asked.
“Oh, no. Just a week ago, my wife’s car slid off the road
onto the train tracks. That pig broke through the window
and helped her out just as a freight train came through!”
the farmer said.
“So THAT’S how he lost his leg!” the man said.
“No, sir,” replied the farmer.
“Then HOW did he lose it?” the man begged.
“Well, sir,” the farmer replied, “when you got a pig that
terrific, you don’t want to eat it all at once!”
