Traveling salesman stops off at farm in County Cork, Ireland. There he sees a pig lying about in his sty with an entire back leg and other body parts missing. When the farmer comes out the salesman rather than going into his sales pitch is overcome by curiosity and asks the farmer what is the story behind that pig. ""Ah, that pig!"" says the farmer in a thick brogue. ""That's an amazing pig that one is! Why, one time when the barn was on fire that pig ran out and opened the bar doors and let out all the animals trapped inside! That's a fine pig that one."" ""Well, OK"" says the salesman. ""But why does he look a bit odd...?"" ""Ah, that pig"" answers the farmer. ""Jayzus, I love that fine, fine pig. One time when my boy Liam fell down a well that pig went down there himself and hoisted the boy back up! That's one fine pig right there that one is!"" ""Yes, indeed he is"" says the salesman. ""But why does he look all strange and half gone...?"" ""Ah, that pig!"" Answers the farmer. ""That is one hell of a pig. One time when the missus went into labor a week early and no one else was here at the farm that pig delivered the baby and took wonderful care of my wife. That's a fine pig right there indeed."" ""OK!"" says the salesman, a bit frustrated with the farmer. ""I get it. He's an amazing pig! A wonderful pig! But why is he missing an entire leg and other parts???!"" ""Ah, that pig!"" says the farmer. ""That's a fine pig. A wonderful pig. T'would be a damned shame to eat him all at once.""
