A farmer buys several pigs, hoping to breed them for ham, bacon, etc. After several
weeks, he notices that none of the pigs are getting pregnant and calls a vet for help. The
vet tells the farmer that he should try artificial insemination. The farmer doesn't have
the slightest idea what this means
but, not wanting to display his ignorance, he only asks the vet how he will know when the
pigs are pregnant. The vet tells him that they will stop standing around and will,
instead, lay down and wallow in the mud when they are pregnant.
The farmer hangs up and gives it some thought. He comes to the conclusion that artificial
insemination means that HE has to impregnate the pigs. So he loads the pigs into his
truck, drives them out into the woods, and has sex with them all. Then he brings them back
and goes to bed.
The next morning, he wakes and looks out at the pigs. Seeing that they are all still
standing around, he concludes that the first try didn't take, and loads them in the truck
again. He drives them out to the woods, does each pig twice for good measure, brings them
back and goes to bed.
The next morning, he wakes to find the pigs still just standing around. "One more
try," he tells himself, and proceeds to load them up and drives them out to the
woods. He spends all day with the pigs and, upon returning home, falls listlessly into
bed.
The next morning, he cannot even raise himself from the bed to look at the pigs. He asks
his wife to look out and tell him if the pigs are laying in the mud. "No," she
says, "they're all in the truck and one of them is honking the horn."
