A traveling salesman passes a farmhouse.

He sees a pig with a wooden leg.

He says to the farmer,

"What's with the wooden leg?"

The farmer says, "That's a very special pig.

"Well," says the farmer...

And I've been over that 100 times,

and I've told them that.

It is not the Wyler's dog.

It is a yapping dog.

The Wyler's have a collie.
