Stop me if you've heard this one:

A traveling salesman is driving down a country road when he sees a farmer
with a 3-legged pig. Never having seen a 3-legged pig before, the salesman
stops his car and asks the farmer why the pig has only three legs.

"This is a great pig. One day I was out in the back forty ploughing; tractor
rolls over on me in the ditch. Pig ran to get help. This is a great pig."

Salesman says,"Sure he is, but why does he only have three legs?"

"''Nother time, the wife, me and the children was asleep in bed. Furnace
caught fire. Pig broke into, got us all outta bed and outta the house. Saved
our lives. This is a great pig!"

Salesman says, "Right. Great pig. About the three legs?"

"Wolf came outta the woods. Wolf woulda got my little boy, he couldn'a been
more'n a year at the time, if this pig hadn'ta chase it away. Wonderful
pig."

Salesman says, "Listen here, I'm sure that's gotta be the best pig in the
county. How come he only has three legs?"

"Pig like that, ya don't eat all at once."

Keep cool, but care.
