A guy from the city is taking a Sunday drive in the country. As he passes an orchard, he sees a farmer standing under an apple tree near the road, holding up a small pig who is eating apples off the tree. Amazed, he pulls over, gets out, and asks the farmer what in the world he’s doing.
The farmer says “Well, Petunia here can’t reach the apples by herself, so I’m giving her a little help.”
The city slicker can’t believe what he’s hearing. “Isn’t that an amazing waste of time?”
The farmer responds, puzzled: “What’s time to a pig?”
