The Pig

"The Pig"*

*An aged farmer and his wife were leaning against
the edge of their pig-pen when the old woman
wistfully recalled that the next week would mark
their golden wedding anniversary.

"Let's have a party, Homer," she suggested. "Let's kill a pig."

The farmer scratched his grizzled head.

"Gee, Ethel," he finally answered, "I don't see why
the pig should take the blame for something that
happened fifty years ago."

"The Funeral"*

*Two old men were fishing off a bridge as they had
done daily for many years. Suddenly a funeral
procession came down the road.

The one old man reeled in his line, lain down his pole,
faced the street and bowed his head until the
procession had passed. He then picked up his pole
nd started fishing again.

The other fisherman was amazed and stated "I didn't
know you were that religious."

The other looked at him and said, "Least I could do,
we've been married 42 years!"
