I think this would only make you giggle if you lived in a town like I do

There was once a man from the city who was visiting a small farm, and during this visit he saw a farmer feeding pigs in a most extraordinary manner. The farmer would lift a pig up to a nearby apple tree, and the pig would eat the apples off the tree directly. The farmer would move the pig from one apple to another until the pig was satisfied, then he would start again with another pig. The city man watched this activity for some time with great astonishment. Finally, he could not resist saying to the farmer, "This is the most inefficient method of feeding pigs that I can imagine. Just think of the time that would be saved if you simply shook the apples off the tree and let the pigs eat them from the ground!" The farmer looked puzzled and replied, "What's time to a pig?"
I can think of a few here that would think that way and it is so sad. Being from the city myself I can relate to the city man!

I also relate to the city man.
Too bad that all of us can't think like that farmer. We are always in rush to get things done, we need to take time and feed the pigs:)

I can relate the the city man too. It is funny that the farmer didn't get what the man was saying to him. lol
Thanks for the laugh!

oh, i can't believe situations like this really exist. how could someone just do that without realizing that it's not only the time he's going to save but also the effort he gave every time he lift those heavy creatures into a tree for a feed. that was a funny sight but it is also a disappointing situation if you see someone doing it.
