A farmer had five 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 sixty miles
>apart. So they agreed to drive thirty 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 in the grass in the
>morning, they’re pregnant, if they’re 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. The next morning he
>was too tired to get out of bed. He called to 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’re in the station wagon and one of
>them is honking the horn."
