Lines: 28 I heard this one yesterday on WVJV (Boston version of MTV): This guy was driving through Maine heading back to Boston when he passes an apple orchard. He also notices that there is a farmer in the orchard holding a pig up to one of the lower branches. Well, this catches the guy's attention so he stops the car and walks over to the farmer. The pig is happily munching on apples from the branches of the apple tree ... Guy: What are you doing? Farmer: (With thick Maine accent) By Jesus, what does it look like I'm doing? I'm feeding my pig! Guy: Well, wouldn't it be easier to put the pig down and shake the tree. Then the apples would fall and the pig could eat them off the ground. Farmer: Why would that be easier? Guy: Well ... uh ... I mean, it would save a lot of time. Farmer: What's time to a pig? And a few olden goldies: Q: Have you lived here all your life? A: Haven't lived all my life yet. Q: Were you born here? A: Well, not RIGHT here. "You can't get they-ya from hee-ya" - MSM
