/ A traveling salesman was driving past a farm when he saw a pig with three      \
| wooden legs executing a magnificent series of backflips and cartwheels.        |
| Intrigued, he drove up to the farmhouse, where he found an old farmer          |
| sitting in the yard watching the pig.                                          |
|         "That's quite a pig you have there, sir" said the salesman.            |
|         "Sure is, son," the farmer replied.  "Why, two years ago, my daughter  |
| was swimming in the lake and bumped her head and damned near drowned, but that |
| pig swam out and dragged her back to shore."                                   |
|         "Amazing!"  the salesman exclaimed.                                    |
|         "And that's not the only thing.  Last fall I was cuttin' wood up on    |
| the north forty when a tree fell on me.  Pinned me to the ground, it did.      |
| That pig run up and wiggled underneath that tree and lifted it off of me.      |
| Saved my life."                                                                |
|         "Fantastic!  the salesman said.  But tell me, how come the pig has     |
| three wooden legs?"                                                            |
|         The farmer stared at the newcomer in amazement.  "Mister, when you     |
\ got an amazin' pig like that, you don't eat him all at once."                  /
