A man was walking in the country and saw a pig with a wooden leg sitting outside a barn. As he was pondering this, the pig's owner came along. The man asked the farmer how the pig got his wooden leg. The farmer said, "Let me tell you, that is some pig! Our house caught fire last May, 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. And 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!" "So THAT'S how he lost his leg!" the man said. "No, sir." "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." ____________________________ DL
