"Three legged pig" joke

Once there was a farmer who had a three legged pig. A man from the city came to visit the farmer and saw this pig. "Farmer Ed," quoth he, "why has that pig only got three legs?"
Said the farmer, "That there is one special pig. Last year when the river was floodin' and I was drownin, that pig saved my life. That's one special pig."
"Yes, that is a special pig," the man agreed, "but why does it have only three legs?"
"Well, the farmer said, "That is a very special pig. When my house was on fire, and my wife and daughter were inside, that pig saved their life. That's a special pig."
"Yes," the man replied, "So why has it only got three legs?"
"Well," said the farmer, "a pig that special you just can't eat all at once."
