I stopped at a farmer’s house to buy some eggs and saw he had a 3-legged pig. I asked him about it.
“It is an interesting story,” he said. “When it was young and living in the barn, we heard it squealing one night and found the barn on fire. He saved the barn, my livestock, my equipment and all the winter hay.
Then, we heard it squealing one day and found my son had fallen in the pond and would have drowned had the pig not alerted us. So we moved him into the house, as a pet.
Again, at night. We heard him squealing and found a maniac with a butcher knife in the kitchen. He would have killed us all in our sleep.”
I asked why the pig only had 3 legs.
He said, “Hey, a pig that valuable, you don’t want to eat all at once!”
Just remembered that joke when I read #40.
One of few I can remember.
I was thinking of that joke, which I have heard in a much more drawn out form, with the line “that’s some pig” featured 3-6 times over the course of 2-4 minutes, with a fair bit of “is that when he lost his leg?”. Thanks for posting it.
