Pig Humor - The Pig with a Wooden Leg
By: Huey & Dewey (Our 2 Pet Guinea Pigs)



This story or a variation of it has been told thousands of times
all over the United States, including by Jay Leno on The Tonight
Show. It seems to strike the humor bone of America. Enjoy...


The Very Special Pig

A traveler was driving through Arkansas when he lost his way and
got off the main highway. As he drove down the winding dirt road,
he saw rows and rows of pig sties and pigpens and pigs running in
fields and pigs wallowing in mud. Suddenly, his eye caught
something very strange. He did a double take, muttered to himself
and then looked a third time. He wondered if he had seen
correctly - it looked like a pig with a wooden leg!

He found the lane to the farm and drove up into the farmyard,
where he was met by the farmer. "Excuse me," the traveler said.
"I was just driving by and looking at all your pigs, and I
noticed something that I just had to stop and ask about. Tell me,
did I see right? Is there really a pig out there with a wooden
leg?"

The farmer smiled. "Oh, that would be old Caesar you saw. He's
the finest pig a man could ever hope to have - and smart! Well,
let me tell you a little about that pig. You see that barge down
there on the river? That's a mining dredge, taking out platinum
ore. Old Caesar sniffed out the vein and showed us how to set it
up. Now that dredge brings me in about $120,000 every year.

"There's another thing, too, a little more personal. One night a
couple of years ago I got to drinking and I guess I had more than
I should have. I passed out drunk, fell down and knocked over a
lamp. That started a fire in the house and old Caesar smelled the
smoke. He came in the back door, got the wife and kid out, roused
me up and got me out. "There is no question about it - that night
old Caesar saved all our lives and you know that is not the sort
of thing a man is going to forget too easily."

"Why," the traveler said, "this is all amazing! I have never
heard of a pig like this before! This is fantastic! But tell me,
how did he get that wooden leg? Was he in a wreck or something?"

The farmer laughed and said, "Well, naturally, when you have a
pig that smart, you don't want to eat him all at one time!"
