There was once a man from the city who was visiting a small farm, and during
this visit he saw a farmer feeding pigs in a most extraordinary manner. The
farmer would lift a pig up to a nearby apple tree, and the pig would eat the
apples off the tree directly. The farmer would move the pig from one apple to
another until the pig was satisfied, then he would start again with another
pig.
The city man watched this activity for some time with great
astonishment. Finally, he could not resist saying to the farmer, “This is the
most inefficient method of feeding pigs that I can imagine. Just think of the
time that would be saved if you simply shook the apples off the tree and let the
pigs eat them from the ground!”
The farmer looked puzzled and replied, “What’s time to a pig?”
A blind man with a Seeing Eye dog at his side walks into a grocery store. The
man walks to the middle of the store, picks up the dog by the tail, and starts
swinging the dog around in circles over his head.
The store manager, who has seen all this, thinks this is quite strange. So, he
decides to find out what’s going on. The store manager approaches the blind man
swinging the dog and says, “Pardon me. May I help you with something.”
The blind man says, “No thanks. I’m just looking around.”
