A traveling salesman's car broke down one day while driving through farm country. He called a tow truck but they said they could not come for many hours. Not wanting to sit in his car for hours he approached a nearby farmhouse and knocked on the door. The farmer answered the door and the salesman told him his story. No need to sit in your car, come on in and sit a spell. While sitting in the living room talking with the farmer a 3 legged pig pushed the front door open, runs into the room and hops up on a lazy Boy chair to take a nap. The salesman asks, why do you let a pig sit in your lazy Boy? The farmer explains, that's not any ordinary pig. That's a very special pig. Last year while the wife and I were sleeping… there was a fire in the kitchen. We both would have perished in the fire if it wasn't for that pig. He smelled the smoke, broke out of his pen, broke down the front door, ran upstairs and woke us up… he saved our lives!!!
…WOW!!! you're right. That is a very special pig. Just then the pig hopped down off the chair and ran into the kitchen. It came out with a huge plate of food from the kitchen, sat back down in the lazy Boy chair to enjoy its meal. The salesman asks… ok. I agree your 3 legged pig is special, but how could you let him have the run of the place, running into the kitchen and taking and eating all YOUR food? The farmer explained… saying, Listen… that is a VERY special pig. Last spring I was out on my tractor ploughing my fields. The tractor tipped over, I was trapped underneath it… I would have surely perished… but that pig knew something was wrong. He broke out of his pen, ran out into the field, dug a hole beneath me with his feet, grabbed my collar in his mouth and pulled me out from under the tractor, he saved my life!!!
WOW!!! You're right, I understand… that is one very special pig… but tell me, why does he only have 3 legs?
The farmer replied…. “Heck… a special pig like that… you don't want to eat him all at once!!!
