1101. Run out of petrol
I was driving through North Wales one day last summer, when I had the misfortune to run out of petrol right out in the sticks. It was about 5 miles to the nearest house, but when I got there the farmer who lived in it was very hospitable and offered to drive me back to my car with a can of petrol, as long as I stayed to have a bite to eat first. I accepted gratefully, and upon entering the parlour I was amazed to see a pig with a wooden leg reclining in a rocking chair, reading the "Cwm Penmachno Evening Courier" and smoking a pipe. I asked the farmer about this, and he said, "Oh, that's a fine pig. One day my wife was just driving out of our gate onto the road when a bloody great lorry which she hadn't noticed - we tend to forget to look out for traffic up here, you know - came tearing along and smashed into the side of her car. The lorry driver was killed, and my wife was pinned into her seat. Some petrol was leaking out of her tank, and the pig here could see that there was a danger the car would go up in flames if he didn't do something pretty quickly. So he leapt over the fence, sprinted over to the car, wrenched the door off its hinges and pulled my wife away just in time to save her from a horrible death". "My goodness, that's certainly a very fine pig!" I exclaimed. "Now I can understand why you treat him so well. But one thing is still puzzling me - tell me, how does he come to be wearing that wooden leg?" "Ah well", said the farmer, "when you've got a pig like that you don't want to eat him all at once". 1102. Short ones

There is this panda walking through a red light district when he sees a prostitute beckoning him. Feeling an urge he decides to go along with her and she leads him upstairs where they have sex.
"Oi, you, where do you think you are going ?" cries the prostitute. "I don't pay for my sex " replies the panda, " ..and anyway where does it say that I am supposed to pay you anyway"
The prostitute, hearing this, goes to a bookshelf and produces a dictionary. The panda takes the dictionry, claws through ( pandas don't have thumbs) comes to p.. pr.. "Here it is, prostitute, woman who gives sexual favours for money ..." "Aha , there it is" says the prostitute. "Take this and look up panda" says the panda returning the dictionary. The prostitute reads "Panda, small bear, eats shoots and leaves." 1104. Not so smart A city slicker drives through a little town, and stops at a gas station to fill up. Going into the station to pay he sees a man playing checkers with a dog. "Utterly fantastic", he gasps, "a dog who plays checkers. You could take him to the city and make piles of money with him." After his next move the man looks up and says , "Awh, he ain't so smart. I can beat him two out of three." 1105.
