A journalist heard about an incredibly smart pig out in the country, so he decided to go and check it out.
He arrives at the farm and meets the owner.
“I’ve heard your pig is exceptionally intelligent,” the journalist says. “Could you tell me why?”
“Well, I’ll tell ya,” the farmer replies. “The other day, my pregnant wife’s water broke all of a sudden. The pig saw it happen. He ran out into the yard, saw me working out in the field, and jumped up on the tractor. He started the engine and leaned on the horn as hard as he could. I heard the racket, rushed back to the house, and was able to get my wife to the hospital just in time.”
“Wow, that’s truly impressive!” says the journalist.
“Oh, but it gets even crazier! The other day, I was working on the grain auger. I don’t know what happened, but I must not have turned the tractor off right, because the auger started spinning. My hand got caught in it, and it started pulling me in. I thought for sure I was gonna lose my arm. But then, that pig came charging out. He jumped into the tractor, cut the ignition, and ran over to pull me free. Once my hand was out—it was pretty banged up—he reached into my pocket, grabbed my phone in his mouth, and I don’t know how he did it, but he dialed 911. I was able to talk to the paramedics; they got here fast and saved my arm.”
Stunned, the journalist asks to see the pig.
The farmer leads him over to the pen and shows him a pig with only three legs.
The journalist, totally baffled, asks: “Wait, why does he only have three legs?”
“Well, heck!” the farmer says. “A pig that smart? You don’t eat him all at once!”
