A homeless man stops at a farmhouse to beg to spend the night. The
farmer
answers the door and says, "Sure, we can put
you up."
The vagrant washes up for dinner and meets the
family downstairs. Sitting at
the dinner table are the farmer, his wife,
their son, and a gigantic pig who is
sitting at the table like a human. Throughout
the meal the vagrant tries not to
stare at the pig, who sports three medals
around his neck, as well as a
wooden leg.
Finally, he can contain his curiosity no
longer. He asks "Would you mind
telling me about the bronze medal around your
pig's neck?"
The farmer says "Sure. It's really an
incredible story. Little Timmy here was
swimming in the lake when he got a cramp and
started to drown. This pig
heard his cries for help, busted out of his
pen, ran to the lake, and saved our
son's life. So, we gave him the medal."
The vagrant is amazed and says "Well, how
about that silver medal?"
The farmer says "A few months ago our house
caught fire in the middle of
the night while we were all sleeping. This pig
saw the flames, busted out of
his pen and ran into the house, waking us up
in time. To show our gratitude
we gave him that silver medal."
The homeless man says "While I'm at it, I
might as well ask you about the
gold medal."
The farmer says "My wife was attacked by a
burglar several weeks ago. This
pig heard her cries, busted out of his pen,
and chased that man far away. To
show my thanks I gave him that gold medal"
The homeless man sits in awe of the pig, who
is blithely eating his meal with a
knife and fork. He asks "What about the wooden
leg?"
The farmer says, matter-of-factly, "Well, you
don't eat a pig like THAT all
at once!"
