A great pig

A salesman stopped by a farm one afternoon to see if he could interest the farmer in anything. While they were talking, a pig limped by, having only three legs, its right rear leg gone and its body all sutured and bandaged.

What happened to the pig? he asked.

The farmer said, Oh. That is the most wonderful pig. One winter evening my boy was skating on the frozen pond and fell through the ice. That pig raised such a racket, squealing and carrying on, that we rushed out to see what was happening and were able to save our son!

So he froze his back leg? ask the salesman.

No, said the farmer. He was alright. But let me tell you how great that pig is. One night a few months ago our house caught on fire. We were all asleep. That pig squealed and rammed the door of the house and woke us all up. We were able to save the house!

So the pig burned his leg. did he?

No. He was fine, said the farmer.

Well, why is he missing a back leg?

Well, the farmer replied, you don't eat a great pig like that all at once!
