So, a traveling salesman's car breaks down in the middle of farm country. He walks to the nearest house to see if he can use a phone. On his way up to the house he passes by a pig pen and rolling around in the muck is a pig with no legs. He seems pretty happy, just rolling and dragging himself through the slop. The salesman thinks that's strange, but moves along to the house. He goes up to the house, knocks on the door, and an old, scraggly man with a huge scar across his face opens the door. "What'd'ya want?!" the farmer yells at him.
"Well," the salesman says hesitantly, "my car broke down about a quarter mile back and um... I was wondering if I could use your phone."
"I ain't got one!" the farmer snaps back at him. Disappointed, the salesman says, "Ok. Well thanks anyway." He turns to walk away and then stops and turns back to the farmer. "Hey, I don't want to bother you, but what's the deal with the pig with no legs?" he asks. The scowl on the farmer's face melts away. "That is one special pig." he replies. "I was in a car accident, that's how I got this scar. That pig pulled me out of the wreck. Saved my life!"
"Wow! That's amazing! But that doesn't explain..."
The farmer interrupts him, "Then we had a fire in the barn and the pig pulled my son out. Saved his life too."
The salesman is just blown away. "That's really something, but it still doesn't..."
"Then," the farmer continued, "my wife fell ill. I needed to drive into town to get her medicine but the truck wouldn't start. I was so upset. But before I knew it, the pig took off running. Came back a few hours later with the medicine in his mouth. My wife would have been a goner if he didn't go get that medicine."
The salesman is silent for a minute, not really sure what to say. After a while he said, "Well that's just unbelievable. That actually happened?" The farmer nodded, "Yep."
"Well, that's just simply amazing. But it still doesn't explain why the pig has no legs."
The farmer looks at him and says, very matter-of-factly, "Well a pig that good you don't eat all at once!"
Thank you, thank you very much. Please tip your servers!
