Five pigs
A farmer had five female pigs. Times were hard, so he decided to take them to the county fair
and sell them.
At the fair, he met another farmer who owned five male pigs. After talking a bit, they decided to mate the pigs and split everything 50/50.
The farmers lived sixty miles apart. So they agreed to drive thirty miles each, and find a field in which to let the pigs mate.
The first morning, the farmer with the female pigs got up at 5 a. m.loaded the pigs into the family station wagon, which was the only vehicle he had, and drove the thirty miles.
While the pigs were mating, he asked the other farmer, "How will Iknow if they are pregnant?"
The other farmer replied, "If they're in the grass in the morning, they're pregnant, if they're in the mud, they're not."
The next morning the pigs were rolling in the mud. So he hosed them off, loaded them into the family station wagon again and proceeded to try again.
This continued each morning for more than a week.
One morning the farmer was so tired, he couldn't get out of bed. He called to his wife, "Honey, please look outside and tell me whether the pigs are in the mud or in the grass."
“Neither," yelled his wife, "they're in the station wagon and one of them is honking the horn!"

There Is Enough To Go Around
Sheth Karodimal was riding back to his home from work in the back of his limousine. On the way he saw a couple of poor beggars eating grass in the field along side the road. He ordered his chauffeur to stop the car and came out to investigate.
He asked one of the beggars, "Why you people are eating grass?"
"Sir, we are very poor, we do not have any money for the food." The beggar replied.
Karodimal said, "Oh, come along with me then."
The beggar said, "But sir, I have a wife with four children!"
"Oh no problem, bring all of them along!" Karodimal responded.
"Thank you, but, Sir I have this close friend. He and I eat grass together." The beggar further requested.
"Of course, and you come with us too!" He asked the other beggar.
"But sir, I also have a wife with five children!" The second beggar answered.
"Bring them as well!" Karodimal invited then in a tone of benevolence.
All of them climbed and squeezed into the big limousine, which was difficult and uncomfortable for a big fat belly Karodimal, who was somehow very tolerant.
Once on the way, the lead beggar expressed the gratitude, "Sheth, you have been very kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you for the food. I hope you have enough for all of us."
Karodimal replied, "No problem, I have enough to go around for all of you. The grass in my lawn is about two feet tall!"
