  There once was a farmer who raised pigs.  One day his boar died and
  seeing that he was going to retire in a few years he decided that he
  was not going to buy a new boar.  So he reasoned that if he could just
  get his sows pregnant for the next couple of seasons, he would be 
  alright.  So the farmer loaded his sows into his truck and drove to
  his neighbor's farm a few miles away.  His neighbor agreed to let the
  farmer put his sows in the pen with his boar for the day.  At the end
  of the day the farmer went to get his sows but was wondering how it
  was possible to know if 'it took', so he asked his neighbor.  "Oh 
  that's easy", replied the neighbor, "Just watch your sows in the 
  morning; If they're rolling in the grass, then it took, but if they're 
  rolling in the mud, it didn't."  So the next morning the farmer got up 
  and looked out the window and sadly realized that his sows were rolling
  in the mud.  So he loaded 'em into his truck again and drove back to his 
  neighbor's farm for another attempt.  After several days of no success,
  the farmer declared "Doggonit, I've been running a shuttle service for
  these darned sows for seven days and every morning they're 'rolling in
  the mud'.  Then he said to his wife "Dear, would you look out the window
  and tell me what my sows are doing this morning."  So his wife looked
  out the window and the farmer asked, "Well, are they rolling in the 
  mud?"  "No." replied the wife.  "Are they rolling in the grass?", the
  farmer asked excitedly.  "No." replied the wife.  "Well what the heck
  are they doing?", the farmer asked curiously.  The wife replied "Well,
  four of them are in the back of your truck, and one of them is in the 
  driver's seat honkin' the horn."
