A traveling salesman is driving down a country road on a beautiful sunny day in the summertime when he glances into a field and sees a very large pig with a wooden leg.

He pulls his vehicle over, stops, gets out of his car and walks over to the fence to get a better look at the pig. While he is looking this oddity over, a farmer approaches him and asks if there is anything wrong or if he can help him in any way.

The salesman says, "Well, I was driving down this road and I saw that pig with a wooden leg and frankly, I was just simply amazed by this! How on earth did the pig get a wooden leg?"

The farmer says, "One night my wife and I were in bed, sound asleep and all of a sudden I was awakened by that pig licking my face. The pig had smelled smoke coming from the house, crashed through one of the downstairs windows, came into our bedroom to wake us in time to get out of the house and call the fire department from the neighbors house. The fire department managed to get here in time to save the house with minimal damage. Thank God that pig was around - he saved our lives and our homestead."

The salesman says, "Well, that's great, but how did the pig get the wooden leg?" The farmer started in again, "Another time, I was out here in this field on my tractor doing some plowing. I hit a big hole in the ground, the tractor went over and pinned me under it. That pig was out here with me. Without a word from me, he trotted as fast as he could back to the house and alerted my wife. She came out to see what was wrong and ended up calling the fire and police departments to rescue me. They got to me very quickly and I was transported to the local hospital where I made a complete recovery. Once again, I have to say that the pig saved my life."

The salesman was getting a little bit agitated. He says, "Gee, that's excellent, but listen, will you please answer me this question? How did the pig get the wooden leg??!!"

The farmer just smiled and said, "Look fella, a pig like that - you just don't eat all at once!!"
