Reminds me of a joke about a pig, a monkey, and a cork.

Please tell...


There were these three farmers that wanted to win the state fair
contest for having the largest hog. They decide that they should stick
a cork in the pigs ass and feed him for a month before the fair. The
only problem was that none of them wanted to be the one to stick the
cork in. So they bought a monkey and trained him to stick corks in
bottles. After a week or two of this, they stick the monkey in the pen
with the pig and a cork, and after a minute, the monkey did what he
was supposed to do. The farmers fed the pig for a month and sure
enough, they won first prize. Once they got home, they realized they
still had to take the cork out. So they trained this same monkey to
take corks out of bottles. They stuck the monkey in the pen with the
pig, and the farmers woke up three days later in the hospital with a
reporter sitting next to them. The reporter asked the first farmer,
"What is the last thing you remember?" "**** flying everywhere," the
farmer replied. The reporter asked the second farmer the same question
and got the same response. When she got to the third farmer and asked
him what he could remember, he started crying. The reporter asked,
"What's the matter?" The farmer replied, "The last thing I remember is
the look on the poor monkey's face as he tried to stick the cork back
in."
